Uruguayan drug lord Sebastián Marset captured in Bolivia, extradited to US

Sebastián Marset, Uruguay's most prominent drug trafficker with ties to Paraguay's Insfrán Clan, Brazil's PCC, and Italy's 'Ndrangheta, was captured in Bolivia on March 13, 2026, in a US DEA-supported operation and immediately transferred to US custody. The arrest removes a major transnational organized crime figure, though the full scope of his network's disruption remains unclear. This marks a significant law-enforcement success in the region, potentially affecting drug trafficking routes and cartel dynamics.
