Otoniel, one less drug trafficker on the DEA’s list of most wanted Latino bosses

The capture in Colombia of the drug trafficker Dairo Antonio Úsuga David, alias Otoniel, Colombia’s most wanted drug trafficker and until now the leader of the Clan del Golfo.

A fact celebrated by the Colombian State as its greatest achievement in decades and applauded by the United States, which also offered a large amount of money for it.

Otoniel was the most wanted drug trafficker in Colombia and one of the main drug lords wanted by the DEA (Drug Control Administration) of the United States.

His capture removes one from the list, but other Latin American drug traffickers remain at large.

These are five other Latin American criminals for whom the DEA gives rewards for information about them:

• Rafael Caro Quintero, who next to Ismael “Mayo” Zambada leads the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico. The reward is $ 20 million.
• Zambada himself follows, with $ 15 million to know his whereabouts.
• Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes alias “El Mencho”, leader of the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel. The reward is $ 10 million.
• The fourth was Otoniel, with five million dollars, who would have been captured thanks to information from the Gulf Clan itself, according to Colombian Defense Minister Diego Molano.
• The dominican Julio Alex Diaz He is also one of the most wanted drug traffickers for links in drug cases such as heroin, fentanyl and cocaine. He is Dominican.
• The list is closed by the son of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, Jesus Alfredo Guzman, who is wanted for possession and distribution of controlled substances.

These and other names from other regions of the world are present in the search lists of the United States for entering, or helping to do so, drugs for consumption within its borders. (I)
