Colombia arrests Peru’s top drug lord in Medellin

Peru’s alleged number one drug lord was captured in Medellin and deported from Colombia to his home country on Sunday.
Gerson Galvez alias “Caracol” was captured in the plush neighborhood of “El Poblado” in Colombia’s second biggest city on Saturday, following cooperation between the Peruvian National Police and their Colombian counterparts.

Officials explained that he was expelled within 24 hours as he did not have migration papers and was handed over to Peruvian authorities at a military airport in the capital Bogota on Sunday.

Galvez “was made available to immigration authorities to be expelled from our country due his danger” stated General Jorge Nieto, the director of the National Police of Colombia.

The capture was a major success for Colombian police who had tracked the movements of the criminal who was allegedly in Medellin to establish contacts with the Oficina de Envigado, as well as maintaining a relationship with a Venezuelan woman. The Oficina de Envigado was once founded as an enforcer army by Pablo Escobar and has since maintained control of Medellin’s underworld.
