Colombia’s police ‘right behind’ elusive drug lord ‘Otoniel’

Three months into Colombia’s largest manhunt since Pablo Escobar, police said Sunday that authorities are “right behind” “Otoniel,” the elusive boss of the neo-paramilitary Urabeños group.
A successful arrest of more than 70 alleged Urabeños members spanned six different Colombian states in an offensive that was launched in February, with a large number found in municipalities of Uraba. However, the elusive gang leader known as “Otoniel” remains on the run.
“Let’s say that we have still not been able to capture him,” Colombia’s Head of Police Rodolfo Palomino said on Sunday. “However, we have had confrontations in which individuals who make part of his personal security have been captured or killed,” the official told El Espectador.
“We have reached places where we know the boss has stayed. Today, Otoniel is on the run, trying not to stay more than two nights in one place. We are right behind him.”
