Carlos Lehder, former drug trafficker and one of the founding leaders of the Medellin Cartel, was arrested on Friday by Colombian authorities upon his arrival from Germany on a warrant in the Latin American country.
UPDATE: Carlos Lehder was released from detention in Colombia. A judge determined that Colombian authorities convicted Lehder for drug trafficking in 1995, while he was serving the separate sentence at a US prison. The cartel boss was sentenced to 24 years in prison in Colombia, meaning his sentence expired in 2019, according to Colombian law.
Lehder had not returned to Colombia since his extradition to the United States in 1987. His lawyer, Sondra Macollins, said he was attempting to visit relatives when he arrived Friday.
Lehder was sentenced to life plus 135 years in prison in 1988 after a Florida court convicted him of cocaine trafficking.
His sentence was later reduced by 55 years after he testified against former Panamanian Dictator Manuel Noriega, and he was released in 2020 due to health issues. He had been living in Germany since then, releasing an autobiographical book last year.
"Lehder Rivas, who arrived in the country from Frankfurt, presented in our information systems an arrest warrant in force," Colombia migration authorities said on X, adding that the former drug lord had been handed over to the police.

Wow....Should have stayed in the U.S. He had a sweetheart deal for all the bad he done...
ReplyDelete1:23
DeleteLife imprisonment reduced to 50 years, then transferred to Germany after rotting for 33 years is a "sweetheart deal"?
He couldn't stay in the U.S. He was deported to Germany.
DeleteI thought the US deported him to Germany ?
DeleteHe was deported upon finishing his sentence…
DeleteHow so
DeleteWhat bad things...where you there ...do you know him
Delete@6.09. The "bad things" are probably the torture and murder of hundreds of people, including innocent women and children, let alone the murders he took responsibility for.
Delete"Where you there...do you know him" ?
Grow up.
Rat narco deserves it and worse--like 10Ks whining and snivelling in prisons for decades!
DeleteGiven his Nazi beliefs, it was an easy call for the anti-nazi gvt in Germany to send his ashe off to Colombia!
Delete@951
DeleteClassic takedown..
Ouch!
Wow US deported a german impossible US only deports mexicans
Delete7 :26
DeleteThey deport all nationalities.
The term O.G. certainly applies to this guy.
ReplyDeleteAnda muy ardido el chimuelo por que se hiceron famosos luis chaparro y camilo ocha y ocran. se pasa tirando mierda de puro celos es un hater el chimuelo le quiere tirar pedo para colgarse de ellos es una mierda
DeleteO.G.= Old Grandpa.
DeleteHe was actually living in Germany not the U.S. as a free man
ReplyDelete“You heard me George. Of course we are brothers.”
ReplyDelete😂
DeleteNobody ever said these guys were smart.
ReplyDeleteImagine multi millions of dollars and have to hang out like a animal in the mountains.
Part of condition for sentence reduction was to choose between and Germany and colombia ...family ancestral home..hence the nane ledher. Real question Is why did he not stay in deutchland
ReplyDeleteGood question.
Delete@12:24. I wonder if this has anything to do with Fabio Ochoa. Lehder was released in 2020 and lays low in Germany for five years. . Fabio Ochoa was released in December 2024 and returned to Colombia. Now three months later Lehder shows up in Colombia.
DeleteGetting together to chop it up about the good old days in the Medellin Cartel?
And in older pictures, you never see Lehder in a suit. Now he comes back to his old stomping grounds dressed to the nines. I bet he was there to reclaim some money he was owed before the US snatched him up 30 years ago.
Dressed to the nines?? I'd say dressed to the 4.5s. Maybe because Fabio Ochoa was able to go back he thought he'd be fine too.
DeletePut that motherfucker behind the rejas ayy. Fuck that fuu. For speaking out against those who made him and for not knowing how to change. Little motherfucker. I gotta hole ima come out of when he get to my cell. Just like that boy from Southie Bosstone who thought he could go on the lamb.
ReplyDeleteMan you sound like a clown trying to sound tough is the first give away the mat you won’t do shit. In this dudes presence if he was 50 years younger and you were on the streets with him you would piss and shit if told Carlos heard the bad things you were saying. Cut it out we get it and you only have to type behind a keyboard you the most gangster dude the world knows. Hell the way you type I’m scared of you!!!!
Delete3:14
DeleteIt's only a hole. And its only the streets. And its not a game. Lehder can't go in or on any of'em now. He should have treated the game better! And you should shut up and learn history pendejo.
Carlos Lehder is nothing but a lowlife who is likely involved in acts of narcoterrorism in Colombia that occurred during the 1980s that he managed to avoid being prosecuted over, like the 1984 murder of Justice Minister Rodrigo Lara Bonilla. I seriously hope that the Colombian government investigate this and other past crimes more thoroughly so that if there is evidence connecting him, this bastard spends the remainder of his life in prison.
ReplyDeleteFuck him
ReplyDeleteLos Colombianos los que comenzaron el Ocran. Pablo Escobar fue grande. Pero no se compara al señoron Yoma y al Señorazo Pocha. puros Jefasos. Y que se puede decir de los tolerospis por ejemplo el Chino Antrax ,El Bravo,el Macho Prieto ,El M1 .pura gente de alta escuela.
ReplyDeleteAll them names you mentioned are like dime bag dealers. They have the schooling of snitches and innocent murderers. They aint shit.
DeleteNo fuero los primeros.
DeleteOff-topic, but the headlines to these stories used to be more fun than a barrel of monkeys to read, but sumbody evidently has been proofreading them before they get posted, and as a result, they are no longer chaotic, but well written , edited down and distilled to their essence, to the point, reader friendly, professional, and grammatically sound.
ReplyDeleteA tip of the cap to BB!
@4:52 no more Sol so no more childish headlines and stories...
Delete4:52
DeleteCan you substantiate your claim that some titles were "chaotic" by providing one example?
@12:32
DeleteThey must have been chaotic, or they wouldn't have gotten them straightened out.
Use your head, it's called LOGIC! 🧐
@4.52. One example? They've been deleted, but there were so many from Sol, and they went on for weeks. "Sicario Learns That His Ass is Grass" (oops, it was an innocent kid, but never mind) "Sicario Learns His Lesson" (oops, it was an armed robbery in Argentina, but never mind). There are so many it's hard to think of just one, and he'd gloat in the comments about getting there first, and never admit he was laughing about the torture of a child because he didn't bother checking.
DeleteWho

Why...
Keep it simple, stupid!
4:22
DeletePoint taken, but "Sicario Learns That His Ass is Grass" is one of the best headlines in the entire history of headlines, there's no two ways about it!

DeleteSol, though presumably silently lurking nearby, (like a goddam raven tapping at your chamber door), ain't officially here to defend himself, but that boy sure did know how to read a room, by golly, and if he ever sensed his ever-petulant flock of BB readers were lackadaisically straying off-message, he was quick-witted enough to dust off a golden oldie video, maybe a gang mutilation in Brazil or an old zeta massacre, slap on a catchy headline, play up the triple XXX rating, satisfy everybody's bloodlust, thus keeping all his kids happy as clams!

@3:03
DeleteYou didn't answer the question. You failed to provide one example.
@4:22
Yeah, so many that nobody is able to provide one example.
11.13 Unfortune we have many teenagers , redit kids in here, they behave like monkeys in here, with childish comments.
Delete@ 6.55. But there are two ways about it. Sol laughing about the murder of a kidnapped teen, and people disgusted by that bullshit. And you're still chuckling? Fuck off lettuce dude.
DeleteWhy did he even return? He has a daughter in Germany
ReplyDeleteBecause Colombia although its very dangerous the coffee region is extremely beautiful.
DeleteYea everyone wants to talk shit but most of the talkers were buying his coke so SHUT ITTTTT
ReplyDeleteFucking idiot lol dumbass dealers only thing they good for
ReplyDeleteHe served his time.
ReplyDeleteColombia, you are still the biggest producer of coca in the world and it’s at all time high in production. You are not righteous enough to cast judgement on crimes committed over 40 years ago when you are committing crimes today.
-not nuff said but nuff said !
He has lived the l Iongest of them all except Fabio who was far younger at the time who would've thought
ReplyDeleteHe was in Germany where he has citizenship.
ReplyDeleteCouldn’t stay in the US, Europe wasn’t that good to him
ReplyDeleteHe should be throwing under the courthouse for that short ass tie.
ReplyDeleteA gentleman keeps his jacket buttoned, so you can't see how long his tie is
DeleteViva Zombie covered eyes, backing the hood.
ReplyDeleteWonder what Colombia has a warrant for ? It has to be like murder or something serious else I’d think 33 years the statute of limitations would’ve ran out by now.
ReplyDeleteThere's no statue of limitation for murder in some countries, not sure about Colombia. Saying "would've ran out by now" is based on what?
DeleteHe didn't fly straight
ReplyDeleteHe kinda did, straight to jail in Colombia, no passing go or $200.
DeleteHe couldn't wait to sniff the same air that his idol did(Hitler). So going back to Germany, was a temporary sweet release for such an animal.
ReplyDeleteEl patron turned this guy in, he was too much of a liability and a loos cannon.
ReplyDeleteI believe he has a daughter who still lives in Colombia so that might be his reason for coming back. Maybe he's looking into reopening Normans Cay and getting back in the business.
ReplyDeleteThat’s actually pretty smart. Make cocaine pure again, everybody wins.
DeleteFuck him for betraying George Jung.
