He said Llanos, whose given name is Hector Buitrago, and brother Nelson Buitrago, known as Caballo, would be delivered immediately to Colombian authorities.
Llanos unleashed a bloody war against rivals in 2003 in Colombia’s eastern plains in which about 1,000 combatants were killed and hundreds displaced.
Nelson Buitrago was convicted in absentia in the 1997 massacre of 11 judicial investigators.
