The appearance of Tomas and Jeronimo Uribe in the new leaks come as different figures accuse the two of abusing their father's power when he was president.
The two sons of Colombia’s former president Alvaro Uribe, Tomas and Jeronimo Uribe Moreno, are mentioned in the latest Panama Papers disclosed Monday by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
In the database revealing details of more than 200,000 offshore companies, both Uribe brothers Tomas and Jeronimo appear as shareholders of the “Asia America Investment Corporation” registered and associated with an address in the British Virgin Islands, a country included on a widely known list of tax havens worldwide.
The company, which appears to be active, had been registered in July 2008 when their father Alvaro Uribe was still in the presidential office.
