‘Loco Barrera’ part of international drug ring

by Christina Filipovic October 5, 2010

Colombia news -  Narco, Loco Barrera

Authorities revealed that infamous Colombian drug lord Daniel Barrera, known as “El Loco Barrera,” is part of a complex international drug ring, and was hiding some of his money in Spain, Morocco, and Mexico.

He supposedly also has ties with a drug trafficking “Board of Directors” of the mafias in Argentina and Mexico, according to a report from El Colombiano.

Authorities on Monday seized $19 million dollars and 17 million euros from a cache which they claim is linked to “Loco Barrera.”

There is also allegedly evidence that would link the soccer team Independiente Santa Fe to drug trafficking.

The long-term investigation into “Loco Barrera” and his accomplices began on September 9, 2009, and has led to the seizure of millions of dollars and arrest of several of his accomplices, although he has not yet been caught.
