MIAMI (AP) — One of Colombia’s legendary drug lords and a key operator of the Medellin cocaine cartel has been released from a U.S. prison and is expected to be deported back home.

Records from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons show Fabio Ochoa Vásquez was released Tuesday after completing 25 years of a 30-year prison sentence.

Ochoa, 67, and his older brothers amassed a fortune when cocaine started flooding the U.S. in the late 1970s and early 1980s, according to U.S. authorities, to the point that in 1987 they were included in the Forbes Magazine’s list of billionaires. Living in Miami, Ochoa ran a distribution center for the cocaine cartel once headed by Pablo Escobar.

Although somewhat faded from memory as the center of the drug trade shifted from Colombia to Mexico, he resurfaced in the hit Netflix series “Narcos” true to form as the youngest son of an elite Medellin family into ranching and horse breeding that cut a sharp contrast with Escobar, who came from more humble roots.

    1. Shut up. As someone who enjoys a sniff every now and then, no one but myself is at fault. People who don’t do drugs, don’t get addicted to drugs.

    2. Props 3 21 was about to say this.
      No one forces anybody to consume drugs. Hate this argument ruining lives. I love myself a pase of original or lavada every now and then. Cold evening , cold beers and a good perico sniffing lightly cause its good and starting the fire for the cowboy steaks from Sams. Jamming Los Bukis or some old school whatever. Relaxin like a champ.

  4. Fabio also known as Pepe along with his brother joined Pablo Escobar and created the Medellin Cartel. CDS at the height of its power had nothing on Medellin and Medellin was far more lucrative than CDS or any other cartel. I know this will piss off a log of Mexicanos but I don't care! Nuff Said!!!

    2. 2:18 jealous that Mexican cartels now own almost all the shit that goes around the world are we?
      A red head POTUS elect would not talk so much smack about attacking these Mexican cartels if they were not a threat worldwide.

  5. Per other reporting he arrived in Colombia on December 2nd. If true that’s the anniversary of Escobar death. Closing the circle I guess.

  7. This guy being released is absolutely great news. Do you guys know what this means? This means that in a couple of years we will be getting a new season of Narcos. This article also implies that he hide his money somewhere. He will enjoy a good rest of his life with his money. This makes me ask a simple question. Is giving up twenty-five years of your life in prison worth being rich for the final twenty years of your life? I think I'd rather be poor and have my freedom. Prison is not for the Nuffster. I'm scared! Nuff Said!!!

  8. I am in colombia now. And Fabio is the boss of Itagui and areas near by. Even in prison he was still running this area and you had get to get permission from him to run things there. With him out the violence in this area will increase. The amount of apartments houses businesses and fincas which he owns and are in others people's name would be huge. Just like popeye did he will be asking for some of those to be sold and the money handle over to him. With the price of land etc. Now in this area he will have over billion dollars himself.

  9. Unlike others he is one who keep his mouth shut and did his time. So him and Carlos are both out. Now 3 bosses from the Medellín cartel are out and about.
