Colombia's Trump-aligned presidential frontrunner Abelardo de la Espriella, who led Sunday's first-round election with 43.7% of the vote and advanced to a June 21 runoff, is facing renewed scrutiny after journalist Daniel Coronell published documents allegedly showing transfers from companies linked to Alex Saab, the businessman long accused by U.S. prosecutors of serving as Nicolás Maduro's financial operator and currently held in U.S. custody.
The investigation, published by Colombia's Cambio, cites records from a closed civil case in Florida showing more than $370,000 in transfers made in 2014 while De la Espriella was actively representing Saab as his lawyer.
