This market will resolve to “Yes” if any Federal or State jurisdiction of the United States formally charges or announces a criminal indictment of Colombian President Gustavo Petro by April 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. For the purposes of this market, the District of Columbia and any county, municipality, or other subdivision of a State shall be included within the definition of a State. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from US governmental sources; however, a wide consensus of credible reporting will also be used. U.S. officials, including sources cited by The New York Times on March 31, explicitly clarified that Colombian President Gustavo Petro does not currently face criminal charges in ongoing New York-based DOJ investigations into alleged drug trafficking ties, driving trader consensus to a 98.7% implied probability of "No" by April 30. This distinction between preliminary probes by federal prosecutors and DEA agents—focusing on potential bribes solicited by Petro associates—and formal indictment has solidified market positioning, especially with no updates in the past two weeks and just 12 days remaining. While diplomatic sensitivities and the complexities of charging a sitting foreign head of state add barriers, a surprise late-breaking indictment announcement or escalated evidence could theoretically shift odds before resolution.
