Adolfo Macías Villamar
is the leader of Los Choneros, one of the
drug criminal gangs that has Ecuador in suspense.
The family of "Fito", as he is known in the organized crime scene, was detained in an exclusive country in Córdoba and deported this Friday.
"Fito" Macías
, who recently escaped from a prison in Guayaquil, has been sentenced to 34 years in prison since 2011 for crimes such as drug trafficking and murder.
Macías is 44 years old and is listed as
the most violent criminal in Ecuador
.
He began committing crimes in the early 2000s, when he was arrested for robbery.
The security crisis that Ecuador is experiencing was triggered by the escape of "Fito", confirmed on January 8, which was followed by prison riots, police kidnappings and attacks with explosives.
The spectacular takeover by armed men of the TC channel in full broadcast on January 9 shocked the country, leading President Daniel Noboa to declare an "internal armed conflict" and order a relentless fight against twenty gangs.
