Colombian President Iván Duque is now known to have signed the extradition order for Said Razzouki two weeks ago. This clears the way for the actual extradition of the Moroccan-Dutchman, who is considered the most important accomplice of Ridouan Taghi. According to the news site El Colombiano, it would be a matter of days before Razzouki arrives in the Netherlands.

Earlier in the summer, the Colombian Supreme Court had already approved the extradition. However, that decision was challenged by Razzouki's lawyers in Colombia. However, according to the Colombian Ministry of Justice and the legal department of President Duque's office, the extradition request meets all legal requirements.

In March 2018, the judiciary announced that it was looking for Saïd Razzouki. A prize of 100,000 euros was also placed on his head. It took two years before the wanted criminal was arrested in Medellín, Colombia. The arrest was preceded by a lengthy undercover operation. Four Colombian undercover agents stayed in two safehouses for months to determine Razzouki's location. During his arrest, the wanted criminal was injured by jumping out the window.

The search for Razzouki was reportedly funded by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
