Hitler-loving Medellin cartel co-founder Carlos Lehder Rivas goes free in Germany after 30 years in
A Colombian drug lord who helped create the infamous Medellin cartel along with Pablo Escobar has been extradited to Germany after serving 30 years in a prison in America.
Carlos Lehder Rivas, who was among the clan of traffickers who helped smuggle cocaine from Colombia to the U.S. in the 1970s and 1980s, landed in Frankfurt on Tuesday morning before he was handed over to the German authorities.
The 70-year-old, who was assisted by two U.S Marshalls, was flown over on a scheduled flight from New York and entered the country with a temporary German passport, Spiegel Online reports.
