Like Colombia’s own “Hunter Biden” saga, President Gustavo Petro’s son Nicolás has been arrested after his scorned ex-wife accused him of taking over $100,000 USD from a narcotrafficker for his father’s political campaign—and then spending the cash on himself! Justice served…or political witch-hunt?

Notes:
Hoosegow, American slang, comes from Spanish “Juzgado” meaning “having been judged.”Nicolás Petro was unfaithful to Day Vásquez with her friend, the actress Laura Ojeda. Petro and Ojeda are now expecting a son together.Day was apparently involved with Juan Manuel Cortés, congressman from Santander.Yes, the word is “forgiven,” not “forgived!” Not worth doing the whole thing over…FORGIVE me! -

The rapid growth of Barranquilla-based Tecnoglass (NYSE: TGLS) makes the company seem like a high-growth startup, but the Colombian-origin aluminum and glass manufacturer just celebrated its 40th birthday. In Colombia, the company is well known as a socially conscious national champion, but even though over 90% of its products are exported to the United States, the company still has only around 1% of total market share.
With its hurricane resistant and energy efficient high-technology glass products, Tecnoglass and its subsidiary ES Windows dominates the South Florida market but is just now starting to expand in earnest throughout the rest of the United States. Finance Colombia executive editor Loren Moss sat down with Tecnoglass Chief Operating Officer and co-founder (along with his brother José Manuel) Christian Daes to talk about how the company’s solid foundations underpin its high-growth outlook and recent activity. -
