Colombia's most wanted drug lord is captured in jungle hideout: Kingpin 'Otoniel' is arrested after raid by more than 500 special forces troops 'in biggest blow to cocaine trafficking since fall of Escobar'

Colombia's most wanted drug trafficker has finally been captured by security forces after evading arrest for more than a decade.

Dairo Antonio Usuga David, known by his alias Otoniel, is accused of sending dozens of shipments of cocaine to the United States and orchestrating a ruthless drugs empire, killing police officers, recruiting minors, and sexually abusing children among other crimes.

He was arrested on Saturday in the Uraba region of Colombia when a military force of over 500 soldiers descended on his jungle hideout, marking the culmination of a decade-long manhunt dubbed operation 'Osiris.'
