Updated 2:36 pm, Tuesday, June 5, 2018
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — An Argentine judge charged the widow and son of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar with being part of a criminal organization devoted to money laundering, Argentina's official judicial news agency said Tuesday.
Former Colombia soccer international Mauricio Serna also was charged.
Victoria Henao, Juan Pablo Escobar Henao and Serna are accused of being intermediaries in Argentina for Colombian drug dealer Jose Piedrahita to launder money through real estate and a cafe known for its Tango performances.
Piedrahita was arrested in Colombia in September and is wanted for extradition to the United States.
