Colombia's government on Sunday handed over 13 citizens wanted by the United States on drug trafficking and money laundering charges to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), police told Colombian Radio Network (Caracol).
Colombia's Judicial Police transferred the prisoners from the Anti-Narcotics Police base in Bogota's Catam military base, to DEA agents who had been waiting since Saturday night.
Including Sunday's extradition, Colombia has now handed over 105 citizens to U.S. authorities in 2007 to date.
Last week, Colombia extradited Herminso Cuevas, known as Mincho, brother of Fabian Ramirez, who sits on the administrative board of Colombia's largest armed rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
