Her lavish excursions were plastered all over social media, showing her with Louis Vuitton bags and Lamborghinis and crisscrossing the globe from Ibiza to Milan as a Miami-based influencer.
But 26-year-old Jenny Ambuila’s whirlwind lifestyle was put on hold Friday when she was busted during a Colombian vacation in connection with an overseas money-laundering scheme, according to reports.
The University of Miami graduate faces money-laundering charges after investigators say they uncovered a massive web of corruption at the Colombian port of Buenaventura, where her father was employed as a customs officer, WCAU-TV reported.
Ambuila — who is under house arrest in Colombia — was busted Friday along with her parents and another customs official, according to WCAU.
Her father, Omar Ambula, is accused of pocketing more than a million dollars in bribes to allow untaxed goods into the country.
Some of the embezzled funds reportedly were used to pay for his daughter’s college tuition at the University of Miami, where she posted an Instagram about the Coral Gables, Fla., campus with the caption “#richkids.”
“This is a fundamental case in our fight against smuggling,” Andres Jimenez, a Colombian prosecutor, told a local radio station, according to WCAU. “We are going after all of this corrupt structure and the resources behind them.”
Investigators said the probe led them to the influencer’s social media profiles — which might explain why on Tuesday she wiped from them dozens of photos of herself shopping at designer stores and driving sports cars. She later made her Instagram account private and deleted her lifestyle website.
