Sebastian Marset, a Uruguayan accused of leading a major cocaine trafficking and money laundering network, was arrested in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, handed to DEA agents and flown to the United States on Friday.

Marset, a 34-year-old Uruguayan on the U.S. most-wanted list, was arrested Friday in an upscale Santa Cruz neighborhood in a large police operation.
Bolivian officials said he was handed to DEA agents at Santa Cruz airport and placed on a U.S. plane, with the arrest carried out under a U.S. court order.
U.S. prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia allege Marset led a network that moved more than 16 tons of cocaine to Europe and generated tens of millions in proceeds.
He faced a $2 million U.S. bounty and had been on the run since July 2023 after fleeing a prior police operation in Bolivia.
Marset served time in Uruguay from 2013 to 2018 and had outstanding arrest warrants in Bolivia and Paraguay.
Bolivian officials said U.S. intelligence and international cooperation contributed to the arrest, and four other people were detained in the raids.
