Soldiers stand guard outside the Ecuadoran air base in Manta where the country's most-wanted fugitive, Los Choneros gang leader "Fito," has been transferred after being re‑captured in a major military operation. Jose Adolfo Macias Villamar, known as Fito, escaped custody in Ecuador in early 2024 and American prosecutors charged him, in absentia, with seven counts of cocaine distribution, conspiracy and firearms‑related crimes, including weapons smuggling.
