Chapo Guzmán of the Southern Cone fell: one of the most sought after Argentine narcos

He was a fugitive since 2015 after being sentenced. The offender is also charged with paying judge of the court José Antonio Solá Torino for him to lift the arrest warrant.

A series of espionage conducted by the Airport Security Police (PSA) revealed that the magistrate had even asked him 50 thousand pesos and a car to unlock the order to capture the narco who wanted to travel to Spain with a large amount of cocaine.

Because of this, the magistrate was sentenced in 2016 to 6 years imprisonment, although he remains at liberty because the sentence is not yet firm.

Capo Narco was sentenced in 1999, but in 2003 he began to be wanted for not returning from a temporary outing. In 2015, the international arrest warrant was released and this Wednesday it was finally captured in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Farfan, who used several fake identities to avoid being spotted, was one of the 10 most wanted criminals in the country.

The arrest took place during a joint operation of the gendarmerie and the Bolivian police. The man had entered the neighboring country with a fake identity card. From Santa Cruz de la Sierra, he brought cocaine in small planes. The authorities had described it as "Chapo Guzmán" of the southern cone.

Originally from the city of Jujuy, General Libertador San Martín, he introduced himself as a farmer and his last known addresses were in Apolinario Saravia, city of Salta, and San Miguel de Tucumán.

The Ministry of National Security offered a reward of 500,000 pesos "for information that leads directly" to his arrest.
