Diego Montoya (a.k.a. “Don Diego”), one of the FBI’s most wanted and one of the most elusive drug kingpins in the world, was captured in Colombia on Monday by Colombian authorities:

Diego Montoya, who goes by the alias “Don Diego”, was the top boss of the Norte del Valle cartel, believed to be responsible for 70 percent or two-thirds of the cocaine exported from Colombia to Europe and the U.S. The cartel is also believed responsible for more than a thousand murders.

Montoya was taken after being cornered in his underwear, and trying to negotiate with his captors by offering them 5 million dollars.

Montoya will remain in Colombian custody for questioning, then sent to Miami upon extradition to the U.S. The FBI, which considers Montoya as the world’s biggest drug dealer, is calling this arrest the biggest blow to illegal drug trade in decades.
