A federal court in New York sent on Monday a drug kingpin and paramilitary leader whom Colombia extradited in 2018 to prison for 35 years, the U.S. Department of Justice announced in astatement.

A Colombian man pleaded guilty in U.S. federal court on Tuesday to charges stemming from his role as a kingpin in a billion-dollar narco-terrorist empire that tortured and killed rivals and civilians and trafficked more than 80 tons of cocaine.
