Victoria Henao and her
son Juan Pablo Escobar Henao are accused of being part of a criminal
organisation and intermediaries in Argentina for Colombian drug dealer Jose
Piedrahita.
The pair, whose
characters were portrayed in the hit Netflix series Narcos, will remain free
while the case proceeds, said Argentina's official judicial news agency.
They can appeal the
decision by local judge Nestor Barral, who also ordered the seizing of some of
their assets for about $1 million each. Former Colombia soccer international
Mauricio Serna was also charged.
Serna is a former
midfielder who helped Boca Juniors win South America's Copa Libertadores in
2000 and 2001. The team won the 2000 Intercontinental Cup by beating Real
Madrid. He was a regular with Colombia's national team.
All three are accused
of being intermediaries for Piedrahita, laundering money through real estate
and a cafe known for its Tango performances.
Piedrahita was arrested
in Colombia in September and is wanted for extradition to the US.
The Escobar family fled
to Mozambique after the feared Medellin drug lord was shot dead by police in
1993, but later settled in Argentina.
Escobar's widow changed
her name to Maria Isabel Santos Caballero and his son now goes by Juan
Sebastian Marroquin Santos - having reportedly chosen the name at random from a
a telephone book.
The story of their
earlier lives with Escobar was dramatized in the first two series of Netflix
show Narcos, which follows the cartel kingpin and the DEA agents who pursued
him throughout the late 1970s to early 1990s until his death, at 44.
