BOGOTA, Colombia — A prominent Venezuelan drug-trafficking suspect who has been branded a major kingpin by the U.S. government was arrested in Colombia, police said Friday.
Venezuelan Walid Makled Garcia was among several alleged smugglers named “significant foreign narcotics traffickers” last year by President Barack Obama.
The White House requested sanctions against Makled under a law known as the Kingpin Act, which prohibits all transactions between traffickers and U.S. companies and individuals, and freezes any assets in the U.S.
