“Colombian president Gustavo Petro has publicly released his bank records in an effort to demonstrate he has no ties to drug trafficking, an unsubstantiated claim made by U.S. President Donald Trump. Colombia’s Financial Information and Analysis Unit this week began releasing the president’s bank statements to the press from 2022 to June of this year after the president ordered their release on Monday. … The released accounts have so far shown no sign of suspicious transactions but have revealed payments for a house mortgage, purchases at stores like Gucci and Ralph Lauren, and a transaction at a strip club. This has led to criticism from the local press.” (11/19/25)
