Sebastián Marset, an alleged Uruguayan drug trafficker and one of South America's most wanted criminals, has been arrested in Bolivia. Marset, 34, is accused of trafficking tons of cocaine from South America to Europe, and also of having ordered the murder of a Paraguayan prosecutor who was shot dead as he honeymooned on a Colombian beach in 2022.
The Bolivian interior ministry has announced that Marset is being extradited to the United States, where he is wanted for money laundering. This arrest marks a significant development in the pursuit of one of the region's most elusive and dangerous criminal figures.
