Brazilian authorities arrest Colombian drug lord

Brazilian authorities arrested a man said to be one of the most wanted drug lords in the world. According to Reuters, Juan Carlos Ramirez Abadia, 44, was seized around dawn at a luxury apartment in Aldeia da Serra in Sao Paulo state. Abadia, also known as Chupeta, or Lollipop, could be extradited to face U.S. charges that he smuggled billions of dollars worth of cocaine into the United States. The US has offered a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to his arrest.

Let's see if anything happens from all of this. More likely than not, he may just be replaced by the next in line in this lucrative business.
