Details

One of the founders of the Medellín drug cartel has returned to Colombia after more than 20 years in prison in the United States for drug trafficking.

Fabio Ochoa was one of the founders of the drug cartel and was a senior aide to the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. The Medellín cartel dominated the cocaine trade and waged a brutal campaign against the Colombian state until Escobar's assassination in 1993. Ochoa was captured in 1999 as part of the so-called Operation Millennium, which the police conducted against several drug trafficking leaders and their associates. In 2001, Ochoa was taken to the United States, along with about 30 other alleged traffickers.

After serving 25 of his 30 years in prison in the United States, Fabio Ochoa arrived in Colombia on Monday, on a flight from Miami, accompanied by other deportees: he will reportedly be free - without pending charges in Colombia.

The former cartel boss smiled as he hugged his daughter, whom he hadn't seen in seven years, and said he was going to Medellín to live with his family.

Recall

Mexican prosecutors are investigating a possible link between the kidnapping of drug lord Zambada and the release of Ovidio Guzman in the United States. The US authorities are accused of refusing to provide information about the case.
