Colombia ex-first lady accused of drug trafficking on presidential plane; probe ordered

Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella has ordered an investigation into allegations that former First Lady Verónica Alcocer, ex-wife of former President Gustavo Petro, transported drugs to Venezuela aboard a presidential aircraft. The claim is sourced from Expreso and is unverified; no official evidence has been presented. If substantiated, this would be a major political scandal implicating a former head of state's family and could strain Colombia-Venezuela relations.
