“I would like to report that Dairo Antonio Usuga aka ‘Otoniel’ was extradited; the world’s most dangerous drug dealer, killer of social leaders and police officers, abuser of children and youth,” Colombian President Ivan Duque confirmed on Twitter.
“Today, legality, rule of law, public power and justice prevail.” Russia TodayThursday (5/5/2022).
However, family members of the victims of Otoniel disagreed with the president. Prior to his extradition, they requested that the notorious criminal remain in Colombia so he could be tried for crimes against humanity in the country’s courts.
President Duque argued that the drug dealers would still be tried in Colombia.
“These criminals were extradited to serve drug trafficking sentences in the United States,” he explained.
