Top Latin American drug kingpin arrested and extradited to U.S.

Notorious Uruguayan drug trafficker Sebastian Marset was arrested in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, and extradited to U.S. authorities after years on the run. He faced a $2 million bounty for leading a major cocaine trafficking organization responsible for importing over 16 tons of cocaine into Europe. His capture follows Bolivia’s recent partnership with the U.S. in combating drug cartels, and comes shortly after the killing of another high-profile cartel leader.
