The Colombian drug lord and leader of the “Los Rastrojos” Eduard Fernando Giraldo, alias “El Boliqueso”, was arrested in Mexico City and deported back to Colombia, where he was re-arrested and currently awaits US extradition.
The Arrest
Colombia’s National Police have been intent on recapturing El Boliqueso ever since a local judge decided to release him from Brazilian custody back in November 2018. The National Police say that for four years they have been prioritizing finding his new location and developing a strategy to re-arrest him.
At some point, they received intelligence suggesting El Boliqueso was now operating again while living within Mexico City, Mexico. A Colombian intelligence group was sent to Mexico and with the aid of the Mexican marines (SEMAR), they surveilled and followed Boliqueso as he moved throughout Mexico City, as well as traveling to the city of Acapulco, in Guerrero.
The director of the Colombian National Police Jorge Luis Vargas described their surveillance, saying that they “followed Boliqueso for several months in Acapulco, Mexico City and other cities where boats, vehicles, luxury apartments were detected. In addition, women arriving from several countries were followed in order to pinpoint his location.”
