Usuga, Colombia's largest drug lord and leader of the "Gulf Gang", a drug cartel, was released on the 23rd of this month. The country's president, Duque, said Ursuga's arrest was as significant as the big drug lord Pablo Razak thirty years earlier. Escobar's killing was Colombia's heaviest blow to drug dealers this century. According to the photos exposed by the British "Daily Star" on October 24, when the big drug lord was arrested, the first thing the special forces who arrested him was to play selfies with him, and the Colombian drug king who was alive sat on a helicopter and helplessly used as a living prop.
Better known by his nickname Otoniel, ursuga, 50, joined a left-wing partisan group in Colombia as a young man and later switched to a right-wing militia and became one of its leaders. However, when the organization reached a peace agreement with the Colombian government, Ursuga strongly opposed, and fled to northern Colombia with a team of his own, in order to meet the daily costs of the team, started a drug business, because he was armed, so gradually monopolized the drug business in the north, becoming the biggest drug lord in Colombia.
The Colombian government has been wanted and hunted down for years, and to escape the hunt, Ursuga has been in hiding for more than a decade, changing overnight locations every day, and his whereabouts known only to the closest of people. This time Colombia, with information from the United States and The United Kingdom, learned of Ursuga's hiding place, sent more than 500 security forces soldiers and special forces, and 22 helicopters as a support, raided Ursuga's hiding place, and captured him in a village in the northwestern town of Inner Cokley.
Ursuga's precise location was found this time thanks to satellite maps and the lessons of multiple failures by special forces, and the Colombian government has taken many previous actions to catch the drug lord, but to no avail. Therefore, this successful arrest, the special forces excitedly want to take a photo with the drug lord, which is also understandable.
Ursuga now faces a range of charges, including delivering cocaine to the United States, killing police officers and recruiting children. Since he was indicted in the United States in 2009, he could end up appearing in Court in New York if the extradition process goes well.
