Ecuador's most wanted drug lord, Adolfo Macías Villamar, leader of the Los Choneros gang, was captured by police in an underground bunker below a luxury home in Manta. Known for high-profile crimes and connections to the Sinaloa cartel, Fito's capture involved a joint operation without any shots fired. He is facing extradition to the US for cocaine smuggling charges, after escaping prison twice and being involved in violent criminal activities.
