VOA News
Venezuelan officials say a Colombian drug kingpin captured in their country will be extradited to the United States on Thursday.
Maximiliano Bonilla Orozco had a $5 million bounty on his head at the time of his arrest in the central Venezuelan city of Valencia late last month.
Orozco, who also goes by the name "Valenciano," is accused of shipping tons of cocaine to the U.S. with the help of a Mexican drug cartel.
He allegedly used legitimate companies as fronts to conceal the drug shipments.
