当局周三表示，一名因2023年在基多暗杀厄瓜多尔总统候选人费尔南多·比利亚维森西奥而被哥伦比亚和厄瓜多尔通缉的男子在墨西哥被捕，并已被移交哥伦比亚。
安赫尔·埃斯特万·阿吉拉尔·莫拉莱斯（Ángel Esteban Aguilar Morales）是一名厄瓜多尔公民，于周三抵达波哥大，在波哥大埃尔多拉多机场被哥伦比亚移民当局拦截。目前尚未立即公布其移民身份或是否已正式引渡的细节。
阿吉拉尔被称为”小狼”（”Lobo Menor”），是厄瓜多尔犯罪团伙”洛斯狼”（Los Lobos，即”狼群”）的据称头目之一，也是该国头号通缉逃犯，受到国际刑警组织红色通缉令的追捕——这是一项用于在全球范围内定位逃犯的全球警报。9月，美国将”洛斯狼”指定为恐怖组织。
墨西哥官员表示，阿吉拉尔一进入该国就被当局察觉，因此对其进行了实时监视。随后，当局利用哥伦比亚提供的情报，获取了定位他在墨西哥城位置的信息。
墨西哥安全部长奥马尔·加西亚·哈尔富奇在逮捕后在X平台（原推特）上发布了阿吉拉尔的照片。

墨西哥安全官员表示，此次逮捕”未使用暴力”，阿吉拉尔被移交国家移民局拘留，以确定其在墨西哥境内的法律地位，未明确说明是否已被驱逐出境。
哥伦比亚移民局在一份声明中称：”该名男子试图通过伪造哥伦比亚公民身份来逃避移民管制。”
2024年4月，墨西哥因厄瓜多尔军队突袭驻基多墨西哥大使馆而中断了与厄瓜多尔的外交关系。此次行动针对的是前副总统豪尔赫·格拉斯，他自2023年底以来一直在大使馆寻求庇护，被指控参与腐败。
哥伦比亚外交部和移民局代表未立即回应置评请求。
据哥伦比亚警方称，阿吉拉尔据称从哥伦比亚麦德林进入墨西哥，使用伪造护照，”明确目的是加强该地区的犯罪网络”。
哥伦比亚总统古斯塔沃·佩特罗在X平台上强调了哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔和墨西哥之间的警方合作，称这是”对跨国有组织犯罪的重大打击”。
今年2月，厄瓜多尔总检察长办公室提交了新证据，试图正式将包括阿吉拉尔在内的三人与比利亚维森西奥案联系起来。这些人据称在2023年8月9日首都北部地区政治集会后总统候选人离开时参与了谋杀的后勤和行动。

除比利亚维森西奥案外，警方还指出，”小狼”据称与墨西哥贩毒集团以及被称为”伊万·莫尔迪斯科”（Néstor Gregorio Vera）的内斯特·格雷戈里奥·维拉有关。他是已解散的哥伦比亚革命武装力量（FARC）游击队的持不同政见派系领袖，其成员不遵守2016年与哥伦比亚政府签署的和平协议。
去年，”洛斯狼”的另一名头目在沿海城市波托维耶霍的家中被捕。其别名”中国佬”（El Chino）的卡洛斯·D（Carlos D）是”洛斯狼”的二把手，被军方称为”高价值目标”。
2024年，美国宣布”洛斯狼”是厄瓜多尔最大的贩毒组织。在宣布对”洛斯狼”实施制裁时，美国官员称该团伙”对该国的暴力局势贡献巨大”，其网络包括数千名成员，得到墨西哥哈利斯科新一代卡特尔（Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel）和锡那罗亚卡特尔的支持，这使得该团伙特别危险。
2025年6月，厄瓜多尔最大毒枭阿道夫·马西亚斯（Adolfo Macías）从2024年越狱后被重新抓获，此后厄瓜多尔的犯罪团伙暴力事件持续不断。2025年7月，厄瓜多尔政府将马西亚斯引渡至美国，他面临多项贩毒和持枪指控。

Fugitive wanted in 2023 assassination of Ecuadorian presidential candidate is arrested in Mexico

A man who is wanted in Colombia and Ecuador for the assassination of Ecuadorian presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio in Quito in 2023 was arrested in Mexico and transferred to Colombia, authorities said Wednesday.
Ángel Esteban Aguilar Morales, an Ecuadorian national, arrived in Bogota on Wednesday, where he was intercepted at El Dorado Airport by Colombia’s migration authorities. No details were immediately provided about his immigration status or whether he was formally extradited.
Aguilar, known as “Lobo Menor,” is one of the alleged ringleaders of the Ecuadorian criminal gang “Los Lobos” (The Wolves) and one of the country’s most-wanted fugitives, subject to an Interpol Red Notice – a global alert used to locate fugitives worldwide. In September, Los Lobos was designated a terrorist organization by the United States.
Mexican officials said that Aguilar was detected by authorities the moment he entered the country, so he was placed under real-time surveillance. Subsequently, using intelligence provided by Colombia, authorities said they obtained information that allowed them to pinpoint his location in Mexico City.
Mexican Security Minister Omar Garcia Harfuch posted an image of Aguilar on X after the arrest.

The arrest in Mexico – which authorities said was carried out without the “use of violence” – resulted in Aguilar being placed in the custody of the National Migration Institute to determine his legal status within the country, security officials said, without specifying if he had been deported.
“The individual was attempting to evade immigration controls by using a false identity as a Colombian citizen,” the Colombian migration agency said in a statement.
In April 2024, Mexico broke off diplomatic relations with Ecuador following a military raid on the Mexican Embassy in Quito. The operation targeted former Vice President Jorge Glas, a corruption suspect who had been seeking asylum there since late 2023.
Representatives for Colombia’s foreign ministry and Colombia’s migration agency didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
According to the Colombian police, Aguilar had reportedly entered Mexico from Medellin, Colombia, using a forged passport with the “express purpose of strengthening criminal networks in the region.”
On X, Colombian President Gustavo Petro highlighted the police cooperation between Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico, hailing it as “a significant blow against transnational organized crime.”
In February, the Ecuadorian Attorney General’s Office presented new evidence seeking to formally link three individuals – including Aguilar – to the Villavicencio case. These individuals allegedly played a logistical and operational role in the killing on Aug. 9, 2023, when the then presidential candidate was leaving a political rally in the northern sector of the capital.

In addition to the Villavicencio case, the police indicated that “Lobo Menor” allegedly has ties to Mexican cartels and to Néstor Gregorio Vera, known as Iván Mordisco – the leader of a dissident faction of the defunct Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, guerrilla group, whose members didn’t adhere to a peace agreement signed with Colombia’s government in 2016.
Last year, another leader of Los Lobos was arrested at his home in the coastal city of Portoviejo. Carlos D, widely known by his alias “El Chino,” was the second-in-command of Los Lobos and “considered a high-value target,” the armed forces said in a statement.
In 2024, the United States declared Los Lobos to be the largest drug trafficking organization in Ecuador. While announcing sanctions against Los Lobos, U.S. officials said the gang “contributes significantly to the violence gripping the country” and its network includes thousands of members backed by Mexico’s Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación — New Generation — and Sinaloa Cartel, which makes the gang particularly dangerous.
Criminal gang violence continues unabated in Ecuador following the recapture in June 2025 of the country’s biggest drug lord, Adolfo Macías, who leads the Los Choneros gang, after his escape from a maximum-security prison in 2024. In July 2025, the Ecuadoran government extradited Macias to the United States, where he faces multiple drug trafficking and firearms charges.
