Columbian drug trafficker Maximiliano Bonilla Orozco was arrested in Venezuela.

According to Colombian authorities, Maximiliano Bonilla Orozco has been arrested in Venezuela. He was wanted as one of the top drug traffickers throughout Mexico and Central America. The United States had offered a reward of five million dollars for his arrest and he was also listed on the "most wanted list" in Colombia.

Orozco, also known as Valenciano, was captured Sunday, according to Juan Manuel Santos, Colombia's president. Santos said that Orozco was responsible for "terrible harm" to Colombia and other nations. Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's president spoke with Santos for some time about the arrest. The details of how he was captured have not been released by authorities, but there were many references to "coincidence." It's possible that Orozco was found during an operation that didn't even have anything to do with the drug trafficker. Both governments are trying to repair relations between the two countries after years of distrust.

Both presidents said that the cooperation between the two countries made the arrest possible. According to Tareck El Aissami, Orozco will be extradited to the U.S. in order to stand trial for drug trafficking charges, as well as many other charges.

According to United States officials, Orozco is responsible for tons of cocaine that is shipped into the country. Most of it comes in through Orozco's connections with the Zetas drug cartel out of Mexico.

The person who takes the top spot on Colombia's most wanted list will now be Rodrigo Londono, who is also known as Timochenko. Londono is the leader of the FARC rebels. Just days ago, the FARC rebels were responsible for killing four hostages which had been taken prisoner more than 13 years ago. A fifth hostage managed to escape. The hostages were killed when Colombia's military staged a rescue mission on the camp where the hostages were being kept, informed "France-Presse" news agency.
