An elusive drug trafficker was captured in Colombia after a years-long manhunt that led authorities to describe him as "invisible." British national Christopher Neil was arrested last week in the city of Medellin as a result of an operation conducted by local law enforcement and Interpol.
Authorities said he worked to coordinate the shipment of drugs from the South American to the United Kingdom for the Gulf Clan cartel. He is among the so-called "invisibles," a term coined by local authorities to describe traffickers who lay low to avoid being apprehended, in contrast with the lavish lifestyle led by infamous drug lords from decades ago.
