Abstract:
On November 18, 2016, U.S. law enforcement announced that the Colombian government had extradited Roberto Ponce-Rocha to the United States to stand charges relating to his leadership role in a drug trafficking conspiracy concerning the transportation of large-scale quantities of cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine into the United States. On May 24, 2016, two co-conspirators charged in the same superseding indictment, Juan Caicedo-Zuniga and Adan Munoz-Cordoba, arrived in the Southern District of New York after their extradition from Panama. Caicedo-Zuniga and Munoz-Cordoba, both Colombian citizens, were arrested on charges arising out of their participation in some of the same narcotics transactions organized and facilitated by Ponce-Rocha.
