Colombian Drug Baron Captured


The picture to the left shows Eugenio Montoya. Montoya is one of the most wanted men alive. He is in the Top 10 most wanted in the United States. Rumors report that he is the leader of the Norte del Valle group. He and his brother Diego Montoya have been trafficking 60-80% of the United States cocaine. The United States of America wanted this man so bad that they had a $5,000,000 dollar reward for the capture of Montoya. He is being charged on conspiracy to import cocaine, and money laundering among many other things.
I think it is good that a man who has been so elusive has finally been caught. He is the biggest importer of cocaine to the United States and a man like this deserves to go to jail. Cocaine cause problems for many people, and not to mention the government. Now that he is caught the United States government has to worry less about cocaine being exported from Colombia into the States.

WOW! That's all i can say. For a person to supply 60 - 80% of all the cocaine in the States is amazing. Mr. Montoya probably supplies huge amounts of cocaine to other countries. This is horrible because cocaine just causes problems for everybody. They become addicted to it and bad things happen when people become addicted to drugs
