Colombia has extradited Inda Mariela Peñarrieta Tuárez and Michelle Jamileth Macías Peñarrieta, the wife and daughter of former Los Choneros leader Alis "Fito" Macías Villamar, to Ecuador. The women were arrested on September 27 during a joint operation involving Colombian and Ecuadorian authorities, with support from the FBI. They were found in the municipality of Sabana de Torres, Santander department, Colombia.
The extradition followed Ecuadorian Prosecutor's Office requests and their recognition as wanted individuals linked to the "Blanqueo Fito" money laundering case. Both women will face judicial proceedings in Ecuador, accused of money laundering activities related to Los Choneros, which could lead to sentences of no less than 15 years in prison.
Ecuadorian Defense Minister John Reimberg thanked Colombian authorities for their contributions to combating organized crime and its economic ties.
