 | Juan Pablo Muñoz Hernández, alias “Carlos Ciro,” used his jet-set lifestyle as cover for his role as the leader of an international drug ring. He is the alleged leader of a transnational cocaine trafficking ring and was arrested on March 6 by Spain’s national police. Muñoz’s arrest follows a two-year joint investigation by authorities in Brazil, Colombia and Spain. |
 | Muñoz lived a luxurious and opulent lifestyle as a business magnate, often rubbing elbows with celebrities across South America and Europe.
