Drug Cartel Win? Why Colombia Freed Escobar’s 'Cocaine Cowboy' Carlos Lehder After Arrest | CLRCUT

Colombian authorities released former Medellín Cartel boss Carlos Lehder on March 31 after ruling that his drug trafficking sentence had expired. Lehder, a key ally of Pablo Escobar, was arrested on March 28 upon arrival in Bogotá from Germany but was freed days later. Extradited to the U.S. in 1987, Lehder served over 30 years before his 2020 deportation to Germany. His release follows that of another cartel figure, Fabio Ochoa Vásquez, in December. Lehder, once a pioneer of large-scale cocaine trafficking via the Bahamas, was sentenced to life in the U.S. but cooperated with authorities to reduce his term. His story has inspired films and documentaries, including Narcos and The Last of the Cocaine Cowboys. Despite his past influence, the aging former trafficker, now suffering from health issues, remains a shadow of his once-infamous persona. #carloslehder #pabloescobar #columbia #usnews #worldnews #clrcut #clrcutnews #internationalnews #globalnews #news –––––––––––––––––––––– CLRCUT on Facebook: https://bit.ly/3Z3K2cT CLRCUT on Instagram: https://bit.ly/4hOUVXl CLRCUT on X: https://bit.ly/3Z52ZMy CLRCUT is everything beyond the usual noise.
