BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombian authorities are investigating whether a top soccer team is being used for money laundering by drug cartels and organized crime.
A spokesman for Colombia’s attorney general said Thursday that judicial officials are examining the books of Independiente Santa Fe. Six investigators are combing through club records dating to 2002.
Santa Fe has reached the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, South America’s No. 2 club tournament.
