The Colombian was for years one of the world’s most dangerous drug lords and was denied a lenient sentence
A judge who grew up in the Bronx rejected an apology from a Colombian cartel boss who was “more prolific” than Pablo Escobar.
Dairo Antonio Usuga, 51, known as “Otoniel,” was for years one of the world’s most dangerous drug lords.
Usuga headed a cartel and paramilitary group – the notorious Clan de Golfo, or Gulf Clan – with a bloody grip on much of northern Colombia.
In a New York court on Tuesday, Usuga apologised and said he was “accepting responsibility for the crimes that I have committed”.
