A senior leader of the Venezuelan criminal gang, Tren de Aragua’s, armed wing has been captured.
BBC News reported this happened during a joint operation involving Colombia, the US and the UK.
Colombia’s National Police said José Antonio Márquez Morales, also known as “Caracas”, was arrested in the city of Valledupar.
Mr Marquez allegedly played a central role in managing the logistics and finances for the group for extortion, drug trafficking, and smuggling.
Tren de Aragua has been targeted by US President Donald Trump who declared it a terrorist organisation and deported more than 250 people he claimed were members of the gang to a jail in El Salvador.
