Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa announced the recapture of Jose Adolfo Macias, known as 'Fito,' the leader of the Los Choneros gang, who escaped prison in 2024. Captured in Manta, his hometown, Fito is wanted for international drug and gun charges. Noboa praised the police and military for the operation and highlighted a $1 million reward offered for his capture. Ecuador seeks his extradition to the U.S. following sanctions against Los Choneros last year. Fito previously enjoyed privileged treatment in prison, which allowed him to communicate with the public.
Noboa's government had offered a $1 million reward for information leading to the gang leader's capture. 'More will fall, we will reclaim the country. No truce,' said Noboa.
