Colombian drug lord caught in Venezuela
2010-09-19
I'm shocked.
(Xinhua) -- A Colombian drug lord was jugged in a joint operation by Colombian and Venezuelan police on Friday.
No, really -- a joint operation with Venezuela captured what must be one of Presidente-reelected-yet-again Chavez's pet drug lords? This is shocking. Unless, of course, the drug lord did something to draw down upon his head el Presidente's wrath...
Didn't pay the vig, I take it ...
At a press conference in Margarita Island, Venezuela, Colombian Defense Minister Rodrigo Rivera said in coordination with the Venezuelan authorities, the Colombian police captured Alberto Marin Zamora alias 'Beto Martin,' who was wanted by the United States.

The U.S. government had offered up to 5 million U.S. dollars for information leading to his capture, he said, adding the police have made three extraditable arrests this week.

#2  Check bounced? No overdraft protection? Maybe this is what they meant in the fine print by 'severe penalties for early withdraw'.
