| Description | BOGOTA, Colombia - Colombia extradited one of its most notorious reputed drug kingpins to the United States on Friday, sending Diego Montoya to face trial on drug trafficking, money laundering and murder charges.
When elite commandos captured him in September 2007 at a remote farmhouse, the man known as "Don Diego" was on the FBI's list of 10 most wanted fugitives, the last at-large "capo" of a major Colombian cartel.
Montoya's departure for Miami in a DEA plane "closes the chapter of the government's offensive to dismantle the Norte del Valle cartel," national police chief Gen. Oscar Naranjo said of the successor to the Medellin and Cali cartels. |
