Colombia's 'king of money laundering' arrested

Colombian authorities on Friday arrested Oscar Cuevas, the "king of money laundering," who became rich laundering money for the now-defunct Cali cartel and the country's largest guerrilla organization FARC.

Cuevas' arrest was requested by Spain, where Cuevas is suspected of crimes committed between 2001 and 2004 when, on the run from Colombian authorities, was awaiting a request for political asylum.

The "king of money laundering" earned his nickname, because he is suspected having laundered more drug money than anyone ever in Colombia.
