Pablo Escobars widow and son linked to money laundering in Argentina

Pablo Escobar’s widow and son linked to money laundering in Argentina
written by Adriaan Alsema October 18, 2017

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 Escobar’s 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.
