Colombian social media influencer based in Miami Jenny Ambuila, 26, was arrested on Friday for money laundering along with her parents after authorities investigated the flashy purchases she flaunted on social media including her red Lamborghini.

Ambuila lived a lavish lifestyle in Miami frequently posting her designer digs, expensive car, and her luxury vacations in Europe on Facebook and Instagram.

Her father Omar Ambuila is accused of accepting millions of dollars in bribes in his role as a mid-levels customs inspector at Colombian sea port of Buenaventura, in exchange for letting untaxed goods pass into the country.

Jenny has been charged with money laundering and is currently under house arrest in Colombia. Her father Omar and mother Elba Chara are in prison on additional charges of aiding smugglers and corruption.

She was arrested after investigators looked into Jenny's extravagant purchases including her red Lamborghini, worth more than $300,000.

The Miami University graduate claimed she bought her luxury purchases by developing businesses that included an ice cream shop and a forex trading service
