Colombia's attorney general is investigating a company owned by Jerome and Thomas Uribe, the sons of former President Alvaro Uribe, for fraud, according to media reports Monday.

The investigations are part of a larger inquiry by Attorney General Eduardo Montealegre to uncover nearly one billion pesos being defrauded from the state.

“In this research, a company owned by the Uribe brothers was mentioned and the Prosecutor is conducting investigations to verify that information,” Montealegre told Colombia's El Tiempo newspaper Monday. He added that “in this case, as in all others,” the prosecutors have ensured that the investigations have “complied with all constitutional rights.”

The Uribe brothers have denied this, claiming that they have been victims of persecution.
