(CNN)- Secret Service members sent to Colombia ahead of President Barack Obama were relieved of duty and returned home amid allegations of misconduct, involving prostitution, two government officials familiar with the investigation told CNN Saturday.
Roughly a dozen Secret Service agents and officers are being investigated over early findings that they allegedly brought back several prostitutes to a hotel in Cartagena, the sources said.
None were part of the president's personal protective detail.
