Colombia and Ecuador issued a joint statement Sunday, revealing that both countries' efforts have resulted in the breakdown of a criminal organization that was smuggling up to five tons of cocaine every month to Europe and the United States.
According to the Colombian police, the criminal organization named Los Curva earned more than $2 billion every year in profits by smuggling drugs. The police operation ran for at least one year to capture Colombian brothers Hader and Dairon Cuero, leaders of the criminal organization.
