Colombian Cartel Leader Extradited to Face Drug Charges in New York

Otoniel's extradition has been extolled as a triumph against drug lords, but it has no impact in curbing Gulf Clan activity. As he faces trial in the US, conflicts boom and victims are forgotten.
The extradition won't prevent Colombia from making Otoniel pay for his crimes in the nation once he has been prosecuted in the US. He reportedly disclosed links between the drug cartel, politicians, enforcement agencies, and civil society and will keep collaborating with local authorities' investigations.
