Colombia has announced that the country’s most wanted drug trafficker will be extradited to the US after he was captured in a raid.
Otoniel was seized after a joint army, air force and police operation on Saturday.
He led the country’s largest criminal gang and has been on the US Drug Enforcement Agency’s most wanted list for years.
US officials had placed a $5 million bounty on his head.
They accused him of importing at least 73 metric tonnes of cocaine into the country between 2003 and 2014.
Authorities have now taken Otoniel to a military base in the capital Bogotá ahead of his extradition.
