Earlier this week in rural Alcalá, Valle del Cauca, the Police Dijin captured Miguel Antonio Meneses, alias El Ingeniero, the main leader of 'La H', a criminal organization dedicated to drug trafficking in Cauca and Nariño.

​​El Ingeniero is wanted by the Dallas, Texas district of the United States for drug trafficking and terrorist financing. According to the investigations, his drug trafficking organization established in Cauca and Nariño has the support of Manuel Vásquez Castaño of the ELN, said Defense Minister Carlos Holmes Trujillo.

The capture, for extradition purposes, was supported by the Attorney General's Office, the American DEA, and the Jungle Company of the Anti-Narcotics Directorate.

According to the investigation, this man coordinated the shipment of cocaine to Central American countries and to the United States; the drug used to be marked with the logo of a horseshoe.

The man, whose criminal activity dates back to the 1980s, when he produced cocaine for the Medellín Cartel, was reported as dead last year before the National Registry of Civil Status.
