臭名昭著的拉美毒枭塞巴斯蒂安·马塞特（Sebastian Marset）周五在玻利维亚被捕后被移交给美国当局。马塞特多年来一直躲避警方追捕。
据国家电视台报道，这位乌拉圭籍毒枭曾登上美国联邦调查局（FBI）十大通缉犯名单，在圣克鲁斯机场被移交给美国缉毒局（DEA）探员，随后被送上一架美国飞机。
“逮捕和引渡是根据美国司法系统发布的法院命令执行的，”高级部长马尔科·安东尼奥·奥维耶多（Marco Antonio Oviedo）向记者表示。
法新社记者目击，马塞特在玻利维亚经济首都圣克鲁斯的一个高档社区被捕，此次行动调动了数百名警察。
在此次突袭行动中，另有四人被捕。就在几天前，玻利维亚与其他16个国家加入了特朗普总统发起的反卡特尔军事联盟。
马塞特是南美南部最臭名昭著的毒枭，因涉嫌洗钱被悬赏200万美元通缉。美国缉毒局称，弗吉尼亚州东区法院最近 unsealed 的起诉书指控马塞特”领导一个大规模贩毒组织，据信该组织负责将数十吨可卡因从南美运往欧洲，同时赚取数千万美元现金和收益”。
这位热爱足球的34岁毒枭通过收购和赞助拉丁美洲及欧洲的低级别职业足球队来洗钱，甚至亲自进入首发阵容。
2013年至2018年，他在祖国乌拉圭因贩毒入狱，后来辗转南美，曾在玻利维亚和巴拉圭居住过一段时间。
这两个国家也已对他发出逮捕令。
美国去年在其所谓”巴拉圭历史上最大规模、最具影响力的可卡因走私犯罪调查”后，发布了悬赏通缉令。
马塞特被指控领导一个犯罪网络，向欧洲走私了超过16吨可卡因。
据报道，巴拉圭的调查显示，马塞特通过短信咨询如何处理被谋杀敌人的尸体。

《华盛顿邮报》2024年的一篇报道称，马塞特曾支付1万美元现金，在其球队比赛时穿上足球偶像贝利、马拉多纳和梅西穿过的10号球衣。
《华盛顿邮报》补充说，他在毒品运输上印有”南方之王”的标志，并下令将可卡因藏匿在饼干和大豆运输中。
自2023年7月以来，马塞特一直处于逃亡状态，当时他在圣克鲁斯的住所即将被大规模警方行动抓捕的前夜逃离。

帕斯自去年赢得选举以来，一直致力于加强与美国的关系，此次选举结束了土著古柯农埃沃·莫拉莱斯（Evo Morales）领导的长达20年的社会主义统治。
玻利维亚是世界第三大可卡因生产国，可卡因原料来自古柯叶。
马塞特是近一个月内第二位被击毙或抓获的拉美毒枭头目。美国情报部门参与了对他的抓捕行动。
就在几周前，臭名昭著的卡特尔头目内梅西奥·鲁文·奥塞古拉·塞万提斯（Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes），又名”El Mencho”，在哈利斯科州西部的一次行动中被击毙。他曾被悬赏1500万美元，在军方枪战中身亡。
Top Latin American drug kingpin wanted by U.S. is arrested in Bolivia, put on American plane
March 13, 2026 / 2:01 PM EDT / CBS/AFP
Notorious Latin American narco trafficker Sebastian Marset, who eluded police for years, was handed over to U.S. authorities after his arrest Friday in Bolivia.
Marset, a Uruguayan national who was on the U.S.’ most-wanted fugitives list, was passed to agents of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration at Santa Cruz airport, then put on a U.S. airplane, state television showed.
“The arrest and deportation were carried out pursuant to a court order issued by the U.S. justice system,” Marco Antonio Oviedo, a senior minister, told reporters.
The kingpin was arrested in an upscale neighborhood of Santa Cruz, Bolivia’s economic capital, in an operation that mobilized hundreds of police officers, an AFP journalist witnessed.
Four other people were arrested in the raids, which come days after Bolivia and 16 other countries joined an anti-cartel military alliance launched by President Trump.
Marset, who is the most notorious drug baron in the southern part of South America, had a $2 million U.S. bounty on his head for alleged money laundering. An indictmentunsealed in the Eastern District of Virginia, alleges Marset “leads a large-scale drug trafficking organization that is believed to be responsible for moving ton quantities of cocaine from South America to Europe, while generating tens of millions in cash and proceeds,” according to the DEA.

He was imprisoned in his native Uruguay for drug trafficking between 2013 and 2018 and later moved around South America, living for a time in Bolivia and also Paraguay.
Both those countries had also issued warrants for his arrest.
The United States issued a reward for his capture last year after what it called “the largest and most consequential organized crime investigation against cocaine trafficking in Paraguayan history.”
Marset is accused of leading a criminal network that imported more than 16 tons of cocaine into Europe.
The Paraguayan investigation reportedly revealed him asking advice in text messages on how to disappear the bodies of murdered enemies.

A Washington Post profile from 2024 said Marset paid $10,000 in cash to wear the number 10 jersey worn by football icons Pele, Maradona and Messi during his teams’ games.
He stamped his drug shipments “The King of the South,” the Post added, and gave orders for cocaine to be stashed in shipments of cookies and soybeans.
He had been on the run since July 2023, when fled his home in Santa Cruz, on the eve of a massive police operation to capture him.
Bolivia’s center-right President Rodrigo Paz thanked “international organizations from various neighboring countries and the continent” on Friday for their cooperation in his capture.

Paz has sought to boost ties with the United States since winning office last year in elections that ended two decades of socialist rule begun under Indigenous coca farmer Evo Morales.
Bolivia’s is the world’s third largest producer of cocaine, which is made from coca leaves.
Marset is the second Latin American narco boss to be killed or captured in under a month.
U.S. intelligence contributed to his capture.
The arrest comes just weeks after notorious cartel leader Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, alsoknown as “El Mencho,”was killed during an operation in the western state of Jalisco. He had a$15 millionU.S. bounty on his head and waskilled in a military shootout.
