Top Colombian drug trafficker arrested in joint
operation
One of Colombia's top drug
traffickers Wenceslato Caicedo was captured in a joint
Colombian-Ecuadorian operation, said sources of the Colombian government
on Saturday.
Caicedo was arrested in Manta, Ecuador with his bodyguards on Friday
evening, said the sources, noting he was later handed over to Colombia.
The police later raided Cali in western Colombia and ports of
Buenaventura and Tumaco, two cities along the Colombian Pacific Ocean
littoral.
Other eight suspected smugglers were also arrested in the above
operations, said Oscar Naranjo, head of Colombia's Central Direction of
the Judicial Police.
He said those arrested were members of an organization that utilizes
fishermen "to transport the drug on high seas to other ships, usually
from Mexico."
The United States is likely to make a demand of extradition of Caicedo
as he faces several charges in the country.
