Drug kingpin Arizabaleta surrenders to Colombian police
Phanor Arizabaleta, a top Cali cartel leader, turned himself in at Bogotá’s DAS offices. The 57 year old rancher is among the cartel’s most violent heads and joins two other kingpins jailed in the past month as raids press the organization. Authorities say the Cali cartel controls a large share of world cocaine supply and profits. A police chief linked Murcillo’s arrest to ongoing dismantling efforts, while Arizabaleta denies charges and seeks to clear his name.
