The text reads, “Abelardo de la Espriella holds Colombian, U.S., and Italian citizenship. He lived in Miami and represented drug traffickers. According to The New York Times, he was himself scrutinized by U.S. federal authorities during investigations linked to those circles. He serves as an example of how the U.S. operates to intervene in Latin America, illustrating the conflicts of interest that arise when an individual ascends to power while maintaining significant legal, financial, business, or political ties to another state. De la Espriella’s case highlights the responsibility of lawmakers to debate Claudia Sheinbaum’s proposal to bar governors and presidents from holding dual citizenship.”
