Leader of notorious Ecuador drugs gang captured in Spain

Ecuador's biggest drug gang leader, Wilmer "Pipo" Chavarria of Los Lobos, has been captured in Spain after faking his death and hiding in Europe. Both Ecuador and the US consider Los Lobos a terrorist organization with significant influence in drug trafficking and violence in Ecuador. President Noboa's crackdown on criminal gangs continues, coinciding with a referendum on allowing foreign military bases in Ecuador, a move supported by the US in their effort to combat narco-terrorists in the region.
