Marco Antonio Roca, alias el "presidente", había sido extraditado a Bolivia en 2005 desde Colombia para ser enjuiciado por tráfico de drogas,

La Paz. El poderoso narcotraficante boliviano Marco Antonio Roca fue detenido en la región amazónica de Beni por la policía antidroga, según un comunicado de la Fuerza Especial de Lucha Contra el Narcotráfico (Felcn).

Marco Antonio Roca, alias el "presidente", había sido extraditado a Bolivia en 2005 desde Colombia para ser enjuiciado por tráfico de drogas, pero se había dado a la fuga y permanecía prófugo desde entonces, indica la nota.

Un Juzgado boliviano lo declaró culpable en ausencia y lo sentenció a 16 años de cárcel.

Agentes de la Felcn lo detuvieron el jueves 23 de septiembre en la ciudad de Trinidad, (noreste) luego de percatarse que pesaba en su contra un mandamiento de captura para cumplir su pena carcelaria.

Roca -trasladado el viernes a la cárcel de Abra, en el departamento de Cochabamba (centro)- es catalogado por la Felcn como "un pez gordo", toda vez que fue vinculado con importantes clanes del narcotráfico en Bolivia y por haber purgado condenas en Colombia, Estados Unidos y Perú por transporte y tráfico de drogas, armas y dinero, entre 1994 y 2005.
