Drug lord arrested for supplying Italian mafia and collaborating with Pablo Escobar

A big drug leader who worked with Pablo Escobar and managed to not get caught for 15 years was finally arrested when he brought his dog to the vet.

Julio Andres Murillo Figueroa, who also goes by the name Tsar, is being looked for because he is involved in moving cocaine from Colombia to Europe.

He is believed to be a significant figure in a group that distributed illegal items to the Italian mafia, including the Ndrangheta, as well as the Mocro Mafia in the Netherlands.
European law enforcement has been paying attention to the Tsar because they found 1,623 kilos of cocaine on a ship off the coast of Huelva, Spain in 2021.

The Spanish police said that Murillo Figueroa had worked with a leader of the Medellin Cartel in the 80s and 90s.

Murillo Figueroa used to work for Escobar in his Medellin Cartel. After Escobar died in 1993, he became one of the main drug dealers in the city.

He went back to his home country when his friend was caught in 2022.

His time in charge ended quietly. The police recognized him by the way he walked while taking his dog to the vets in Cucuta.

The police said that they were able to figure out who he was because he often went to the doctor for help with his mobility and used a walking stick, and he also went to the vet often for his dog.

But then H1 disappeared again, before he was seen at another big house in Antioquia, worth about£1. 5million, where he was spotted sometimes walking his dog near a private lake.

Pablo Escobar became very rich by leading a big drug operation that went from Colombia to 12 other countries.

The Colombian police shot and killed him on a rooftop when he was trying to runaway.
