Americas1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported33m ago
Geovany Andrés Rojas, known as alias Araña and leader of the Comandos de la Frontera (CDF), faces a request for pretrial detention by United States federal prosecutors on charges of drug trafficking and narcoterrorism. The request was filed on Saturday, September 26, shortly before his scheduled extradition to the United States.
The Comandos de la Frontera, alongside the dissident faction led by Iván Mordisco, are identified as Colombian illegal armed groups operating within Ecuadorian territory. These groups have established alliances with local organizations, such as Los Lobos, to facilitate cocaine trafficking routes from southern Colombia to Ecuadorian ports.
