A top Colombian drug lord, Diego Perez Henao, has been arrested by police in neighbouring Venezuela. He was the leader of Los Rastrojos, a drug cartel that has grown quickly in the past four years, exporting tonnes of cocaine to the United States via Mexico. Arturo Wallace reports from Bogota.

The news of the arrest was very well received in Colombia, where President Juan Manuel Santos turned to his Twitter account to thank the Venezuelan authorities for their collaboration. And the Venezuelan Minister of the Interior, Tareck el Aissami, said the idea was to turn Mr Perez Henao over to Bogota. According to the local police, Mr Perez Henao controlled half the members of the paramilitary criminal organisations involved in drug

trafficking

in Colombia. And the US State Department had offered a $5m reward for any information leading to his arrest.
