Colombian drug lord is arrested in Venezuela


Venezuelan Minister of the Interior and Justice Tareck El Aissami has announced the capture of Jaime Alberto Marín aka Beto Marin, leader of Colombia's Norte del Valle drug cartel, who had a red notice issued by the International Police (Interpol).

The information was disclosed in a message posted on the minister's Twitter account (@TareckPSUV). El Aissami said that the arrest of the Colombian citizen is another big blow to international drug trafficking. He did not mention the place where the arrest took place.
