Colombian authorities arrested a man who resides in Panama and supposedly operates a worldwide money laundering operation for drug trafficking, reported Thursday the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
The DEA also pointed out it has designated Nidal Waked as a drug kingpin and added that he was arrested Wednesday night at an airport in Bogota.
“He was captured in Colombia after arriving to El Dorado airport in Bogota after a flight that came from Ecuador,” according to daily El Espectador.
The agency described Waked as “one of money launderers and the world’s top criminal facilitator.” And also indicated that the suspect faces charges of money laundering and bank fraud in Florida.
