The widow and son could be linked to a money laundering operation with an alleged former cartel member now in custody at the request of the United States.
Colombian-born Jose Bayron Piedrahita is wanted in the US for allegedly trying to bribe a federal agent in an attempt to make his American criminal record to go away.
According to daily El Clarin, Piedrahita is also accused of laundering drug money in a real estate project in which Escobars widow, Maria Isabel Santos, and his son, Sebastian Marroquin, also have a stake.
Piedrahita, who was put on the Kingpin List in 2016, allegedly used several Argentine projects to launder between $10 million and $15 million between 2008 and 2010.
