Salomon Camacho Mora, the reputed leader of Colombia's Norte del Valle drug cartel who is wanted by the United States, was arrested last week in Valencia, Venezuela as reported by the Latin American Herald Tribune: "Camacho Mora is 'under tight security' and Venezuelan officials have contacted U.S. diplomats to begin the process of handing him over to the United States."
Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control has added "Quintero Sancemente, along with 19 other individuals and 16 entities in his organization, to its list of specially designated narcotics traffickers, a move that bans U.S. persons from doing business with them and seeks to freeze any assets they may have under U.S. jurisdiction" as reported by David Lawder for Reuters: "The Treasury previously blacklisted Quintero Sanclemente in November 2005 for providing support to North Valle drug cartel leader Wilber Varela. But it said the new sanctions reflect Quintero Sanclemente's increased role in drug trafficking activities following Varela's death in 2008."
