Jenny Ambuila has been charged with money laundering and is currently under house arrest in Colombia. She has shut down her social media presence. Her parents are in prison on additional charges of aiding smugglers and corruption.
Their arrests are a part of a Colombian investigation to stop smuggling into local markets before they’re flooded with contraband goods.

Authorities hope their arrests can help untangle a larger web of corruption at the sea port.
‘This is a fundamental case in our fight against smuggling. We are going after all of this corrupt structure, and the resources behind them,’ Andres Jimenez, a Colombian prosecutor, told a local radio station.

Colombian authorities investigated her flashy purchases which she claims she bought by developing businesses that included an ice cream shop and a forex trading service. Ambuila has been charged with money laundering and is currently under house arrest in Colombia.

The Office of the Public Prosecutor in Colombia said Ambuila, who was the head of the Internal Work Group of Cargo control of the Dian for the past 27 years, made a monthly salary $3,000 as a ports inspector, according to El Tiempo.

Prosecutor Jimenez says Omar Ambuila received at least $600,000 in bribes since 2012 in overseas payments, possibly much more.
Those illicit funds were then allegedly laundered by transferring the loot to Ambuila’s daughter, Jenny, who was studying at the University of Miami, from 2013 to 2017 and earned a bachelor’s degree in finance.

‘In exchange for their illicit act, these two people (Ambuila and the other official of the Dian) and other alleged accomplices would have received millionaire dividends that were hidden through front companies or were turned over to their relatives to acquire goods and services that would exceed their economic capacity,’ prosecutors said.

‘For example, the two officials did not have salaries over 6 million pesos, however, they recorded income and purchases for much higher amounts with no clarity of their origin,’ they added.

Jenny lived a life of luxury frequenting stores like Gucci and Dolce&Gabanna and travelling to Milan and Paris, flaunting her ritzy trips on her Facebook and Instagram page jennylifestyler with over 10,000 followers. The page has since been made private.
On it she describes herself as a venture capitalize, foreign exchange trader, and social media influencer.
But her extravagant and flashy posts are exactly what led to speculation of her family.
Investigators looked into her social media profiles and investigated her purchases, notably her 2017 purchase of a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder, worth more than $300,000, which she often posted on Instagram as a backdrop.

She also bought a Porsche Cayenne while living in Miami.
‘People assume that because they can’t make it you can’t make it either,’ Ambuila wrote in a May 2017 Facebook post where she shows a photo of the Lamborghini. ‘Prove them wrong.’
She told authorities she bought her luxury purchases by developing businesses that included an ice cream shop and a forex trading service.
‘She did set up some companies on paper,’ Jimenez told Colombia’s Blu Radio. ‘But they did not make enough earnings to afford her that type of lifestyle.’
On Friday during her arrest Ambuila, dressed in a Gucci T-shirt, stared blankly ahead as an officer read out the charges against her.
Investigators are hoping to close in on other alleged members of Buenaventura’s smuggling network in the coming months.
‘The amount of money that smuggling moves in this country is huge,’ Jimenez says. ‘We are hoping this investigation goes all the way to the top.’
Investigators, with the support of U.S. agencies, fathered evidence into the family for more than a year.
