Colombia military finds $200K in ‘drug money’ in congressman’s car
Posted by Adriaan Alsema on Apr 6, 2016
The party of Colombia President Juan Manuel Santos was embarrassed on Tuesday when the military arrested a coalition congressman’s assistant with $200,000 in cash, alleged drug money, stashed in the congressman’s car.
The car was driven by the son of Luis Javier Rojas, a regional dynasty politician who founded President Santos’ U Party branch in the southern Huila province.
Because of his family’s political power in the region, the suspect is a known socialite in the Huila jetset.
The politician’s son currently works for U Party congressman Alexander Garcia, a House Representative of the coca-rich Guaviare province.
