World's biggest drugs 'super cartel' smashed by US authorities in Colombia

Jun.18, 2010, 7:00PM BST

 

Anti-drug agents arrested and charged dozens of members of the powerful Colombian cartel, including two major kingpins, after a series of raids across South America.

 

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, estimated the cartel made an estimated $5 billion (£3.37bn) profit from their trade over the past few years.

 

Agents involved in Operation Pacific Rim said on Friday that the gang trafficked cocaine to every continent except Antarctica, with drugs bound for Europe and Britain smuggled through Spain.

 

They believe the gang were responsible for almost half of the cocaine on American streets, or more than 912 tonnes with an estimated street value of about $24 billion (£16.2 billion).

 

The drug cartels buy coca from Colombia's peasant farmers for about £250 per pound. After being refined into cocaine, the same quantity can then be sold for about £15,000 in Europe.

 

They were said to have made so much money they could not launder it all, CBS News reported.

 

Among those arrested were kingpins, "Don Claudio” in eastern Columbia and "Don Lucho", who was captured in Argentina. Both are now awaiting extradition back to the US.

 

Agents and Colombian authorities are continuing their hunt for other cartel members.

 

The arrests follow that of one of Colombia's most wanted drugs barons, known as "Don Mario", who was captured near his jungle lair in April, during another major strike against the cocaine trade.

 

The cartel operated sophisticated drugs labs in the country’s jungles, engaged ruthless hit men and used submarines to transport the drugs all over the world.

 

"Their tentacles reach all over the globe," one ICE agent, who declined to be named, told the American broadcaster said.

 

"It's mind-boggling the kind of profit these guys were producing. They invest in businesses, big investments, apartment complexes, office buildings.

 

"But there's so much left over that they have to do something with this cash. Sometimes all that's left is to hoard it and hide it."

 

William Brownfield, the U.S. Ambassador to Colombia, said the operation began last September at Buenaventura, a busy Colombian port, after officials intercepted a suspicious fertilizer container that was later found with more than $28million (£19million) worth of shrink-wrapped cash.

 

An ICE spokeswoman was unavailable for comment as was a Colombian government spokesman.

 

It is a significant boost to the American government’s high-profile war on drugs, after Barack Obama, the US President, announced a new push against central and South American drugs cartels.

 

He last year declared that US would confront the drug cartels that were "sowing chaos in our communities".

 

It is also a significant victory for the Colombian government ahead of next week's second round of the local presidential elections.

 

On Thursday, Antonio Maria Costa, the U.N. drug and crime czar warned that international crime syndicates posed a growing threat to global security.

 

She told a high-level General Assembly meeting in New York that demand for illegal drugs, diamonds and other items is fueling transnational organised crime
