Cali Police have arrested a leading drug trafficker wanted for extradition to the U.S., Caracol TV reported on Friday.
Guillermo Ruedo Toledo, alias “El Profe,” was captured in a joint intelligence-led operation between local police and Colombian anti-narcotics police.
According to authorities, he had been using a fruit company, Fruti Cali, as a front to smuggle drugs from Cali to the U.S. via San Andres and Mexico.
El Profe has been taken to Bogota where a judicial investigation will decide whether to extradite him to the U.S.
