World's most hunted drug trafficker arrested in Colombia
    #5644291 - 05/17/06 11:15 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

May 18, 2006 - zeenews.com

Bogota (Colombia) - One of the world's most hunted drug traffickers - whose criminal organisation compared in size to that of late drug Lord Pablo Escobar - has been arrested in Brazil as part of a major international bust, officials said.

Brazilian authorities said yesterday that Colombian-born Pablo Rayo-Montano, who had been on the run for a decade, was captured the day before at his home in Sao Paulo as part of a three-year operation spearheaded by the US Drug Enforcement Administration and police in Brazil, Panama and Colombia.

More than three dozen others were arrested during simultaneous raids on Tuesday in the United States and Latin America, officials said. Also seized were three islands owned by Rayo-Montano off the coast of Panama and a trove of expensive artwork, yachts, real estate holdings and millions in cash.

The cartel allegedly used speedboats, cargo vessels and submarine-like vessels to ship more than 15 tons of cocaine a month from clandestine Colombian ports to the United States and Europe, officials said.

"The Rayo-Montano trafficking organisation ranked up there with Pablo Escobar and the Cali cartel in terms of the amount of cocaine it was able to smuggle into the United States," Dave Gaddis, Head of the Dea in Bogota, Colombia, told the media agency.

Escobar, history's most notorious drug trafficker, led the now defunct Medellin cocaine cartel and was shot dead by police in December 1993. Much of the drug trafficking industry was subsequently taken over by Colombia's Cali cartel.

Even at the low price of $10,000 per kilo that's $1.8 billion per year.

Which is exactly why the war on drugs will (seemingly) never end. Guess what happens to all those seized belongings and cash?
