Colombian police have arrested Brian Donaciano Olguin Verdugo, known as the “El Pitt” nickname in the Sinaloa drug cartel, in a luxury apartment in the city of Cali, as announced last Sunday. The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) notified Colombian authorities that El Pete had entered the country in February. A Facebook post by the anonymous model showing the couple in Los Cristales, a statue of Jesus Christ on top of a hill, helped police locate the couple. “Breaking all security protocols, including the use of only encrypted applications, the model persuaded him to take a selfie kissing in front of Mount Los Cristales,” a police source said. he said year. “She immediately posted the photo on her Facebook account.” The Independent contacted the DEA for comment. Security officials then spent two weeks spying on and photographing the drug dealer, who was reportedly in the country to mediate deals with former Colombian rebels over cocaine shipments to Mexico. Surveillance photos published by El Tiempo show the couple lying in bed at night, where Verdugo is shirtless and appears with discreet tattoos on his chest, one of the markers the police were called to watch out for. The alleged Sinaloa leader, who sought to establish a permanent resident in Colombia and serve as a regular envoy of the cartel between Mexico and Colombia, then tried to bribe the police with about $ 265,000, officials say. “If I had been in Mexico, I would have already been released by a group of armed men,” he told the arresting officers, according to El Tiempo. Verdugo will now be extradited to California on a cocaine trafficking charge, according to police. At the time of his arrest, Mr Verdugo had an active red Interpol warrant for his arrest in 196 countries.
