Trump urges immediate extradition of Serbian drug boss

According to an American intelligence report, Colombian guerrilla leader Giovanni Andreés Rojas, known as “Araña” and Serbian drug boss Antun Mrde therefrom, made an agreement to smuggle cocaine on one of the most important drug routes in the world.

At the time, “Araña” was the general commander of the Comando Border group and at the same time the official peace negotiator of the Colombian government. Today he's in the La Picarda maximum security prison in Bogotá. Mrde '%a has been in custody in Venezuela since May 2025, after being on the run for years, which began with his spectacular disappearance from Colombian custody.

The White House has officially requested the extradition of both men, and their names are now part of diplomatic talks at the highest level.

The upcoming meeting between Colombian President Gustavo Petro and Venezuelan leader Delcy Rodríguez thus takes on a much broader importance than simply strengthening bilateral relations. According to sources in Bogota, the goal is to agree on a mechanism by which Colombia would officially seek the extradition of Mrrdese from Venezuela, thus becoming mediator and guarantor of the process before the United States makes its request.

Mrdeić, also known as Nikola Boroš, is considered by the Colombian authorities as a member of the so-called new drug trafficking administration a transnational network that, according to estimates, connects cocaine producers in Latin America with European distributors./Periscopi/
