One of Colombia's biggest drug lords has been captured.

Information about the whereabouts of Dairo Usuga carried a price tag of over four million euro.

The 50 year old is accused of sending dozens of cocaine shipments to the US, killing police, and abusing children.

Colombian President, Ivan Duque, says it can only be compared to the fall of Pablo Escobar in the 1990s.

One police officer was killed in the operation to capture Usuga in his hideout near the border with Panama.

The operation involved 500 soldiers supported by 22 helicopters.
