The drug trafficker Miro Niemeier Risvanovic, called 'The Russian', was found dead in Pereira, the Colombian city of the so-called Triangle of coffee: the local press reported, pointing out that the man, of Bosnian-German origin, would have been murdered together with his partner. Risvanovic in August last year was extradited from Italy after his capture in Civitavecchia by Interpol on charges of drug trafficking. According to the newspaper El Tiempo, Risvanovic was linked to Dairo Antonio Usuga, head of the Gulf Clan, a Colombian paramilitary organization dedicated to drug trafficking and other criminal activities. But Risvanovic would also have been the liaison between the Colombian mafia and the Calabrian 'ndrangheta, with the task of "coordinating the transport and distribution of drugs from South America to Europe", reports the daily El Diario.
