Bogotá, Colombia — Colombian authorities have arrested 52 people linked to international drug trafficking in a major operation supported by the United States, France and Spain, the defense ministry said Wednesday.
Out of those arrested, 34 were under “current extradition orders”, Defense Minister Ivan Velasquez said.
After two years of investigation, Colombian authorities uncovered the suspects during an operation which lasted two months, and resulted in the seizure of “four tons of cocaine worth $134 million,” he added.
In a statement, the ministry said the suspects “were linked to international Mexican organizations such as the Sinaloa Cartel, Jalisco New Generation, Los Zetas as well as European organizations such as Clan Devesa.”
