哥伦比亚政府的一个道德监督机构已要求国会调查有关前总统古斯塔沃·佩特罗与一名挺身而出投诉的女子以国家合同换取性服务的指控；佩特罗否认有任何不当行为。
A Colombian government ethics watchdog has asked Congress to investigate allegations that former president Gustavo Petro traded state contracts for sexual favors with a woman who has come forward with a complaint; Petro denies any wrongdoing.
哥伦比亚政府监督机构已要求国会对外公布的前总统古斯塔沃·佩特罗展开正式调查，此前有指控称他以授予国家合同作为交换条件来换取性服务。在此之前，一名女子提起投诉称，她在佩特罗政府期间按这些条件获得了公共合同。
A Colombian government watchdog has asked Congress to open a formal investigation into former president Gustavo Petro over allegations that he awarded state contracts in exchange for sexual favors. The request follows a complaint filed by a woman who says she received public contracts from Petro's administration under those terms.
于今年早些时候卸任的佩特罗否认了任何不当行为，并斥这些指控是出于政治动机。除否认外，他的办公室尚未详细说明正式回应，且目前尚未有与该投诉相关的刑事指控被提起。
Petro, who left office earlier this year, has denied any wrongdoing and dismissed the allegations as politically motivated. His office has not detailed a formal response beyond the denial, and no criminal charges have been filed in connection with the complaint so far.
监督机构的请求现已提交给国会监督委员会，该委员会将决定是否启动正式调查。近年来，哥伦比亚议员们面临着一波针对现任和前任官员的腐败相关投诉，针对前国家元首的任何调查都将在明年的选举前引发巨大的政治关注。
The watchdog's request now goes to a congressional oversight committee, which will decide whether to open a formal inquiry. Colombian lawmakers have faced a wave of corruption-related complaints against current and former officials in recent years, and any investigation into a former head of state would draw significant political attention ahead of next year's elections.
