Buenos Aires - Argentine police have arrested the widow and son of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar in a late night raid on a Buenos Aires apartment, an official said yesterday.
The late cocaine baron's wife Victoria Henao and her son Juan Pablo Escobar were detained late on Monday on charges of laundering drug money and falsifying documents, a police spokeswoman said. Pablo Escobar was killed in December 1993 in a shootout with police in Medellin. His widow and two children fled Colombia in 1995 for a secret new life abroad and little had been heard of them until Monday night.
