Baku-APA. A Colombian man arrested in Argentina has agreed to be extradited to the United States on drug-trafficking and money-laundering charges, APA reports quoting news.yahoo.com website.
Luis Caicedo Velandia is accused in New York and Florida of importing cocaine and laundering more than $176 million in profits.
Argentine police and U.S. drug-enforcement agents arrested Caicedo in April on a Buenos Aires sidewalk, blocks away from the U.S. Embassy. He carried a false Guatemalan passport and insisted he was a simple businessman caught up in a case of mistaken identity.
The court announced Tuesday that Caicedo has since acknowledged his true identity and agreed to extradition.
