Man from Curaçao detained in Bogotá on Interpol warrant for drug trafficking
Colombia's National Police detained a man from Curaçao at El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá who was being sought through an Interpol alert. The arrest came following a joint operation with agencies from the Netherlands, the Dominican Republic and the Colombian immigration service.
According to authorities, the detainee is suspected of being a member of a criminal gang that operates in several countries and specialises in sending cocaine abroad. The international arrest warrant, known as a Red Notice, was the instrument that led to his detention upon passing through the airport terminal.
Following the procedure, the man was placed at the disposal of the entities responsible for processing his legal and administrative situation in relation to the request against him. Colombian authorities emphasised that this type of action demonstrates the effectiveness of cooperation agreements between states in combating organised crime that transcends borders.
The case highlights the role of Interpol's National Central Bureau in Colombia as a link between local police and international security bodies.
