Dairo Antonio Usuga, who headed the country’s largest narco-trafficking gang known as the Gulf Clan, was captured near one of his main outposts in Necocli, near the border with Panama. Images released by the government showed the 50-year-old Otoniel in handcuffs and surrounded by soldiers.

Colombia’s most-wanted drug trafficker “Otoniel” has been captured, the government said Saturday, a major victory in the world’s top cocaine exporter.
