Capture

Gilberto Londoño Garcia, alleged business manager of drug-trafficking group Los Rastrojos‘ operations in Ecuador, was arrested in northwest Bogota on Tuesday.

The trafficker, alias “Profe” or “Serpa,” was allegedly in charge of the production and transport of cocaine for the drug gang “Los Rastrojos,” in southern Colombia and Ecuador.

The District Court of East New York in United States sought Londoño Garcia’s extradition on charges of drug-trafficking and money laundering.

According to a police report Londoño Garcia ran drug laboratories in southern Colombia under the leadership of Wilber  Varela, alias “Jabon” where he was put in charge of expanding the illegal activities in Ecuador,

It is also alleged that he developed numerous infrastructures for drug processing in the jungles of Ecuador.

Profe allegedly created various routes for drug-trafficking in the neighboring country, including in the country’s harbors, through the utilization of submarines.

The drugs were then transported to coastal areas of Central America, Mexico and the United States, supplying cocaine to Mexican drug cartels.
