Ecuadors most wanted fugitive, Los Choneros gang leader Fito, had been recaptured over a year after his escape from prison triggered a wave of violence

One of South Americas most feared drug kingpins, who escaped prison, has been captured after police uncovered his underground hideaway beneath a luxury coastal mansion.

Ecuadors Adolfo Mac?as Villamar, known across Latin America by the alias Fito, was arrested in the early hours of Wednesday, bringing to an end a months long manhunt that had gripped the country.

The leader of the notorious Los Choneros gang was found hiding in an underground bunker beneath a luxury three storey home in the Monterrey neighbourhood.

The operation, carried out jointly by Ecuador?s police and armed forces, lasted more than 10 hours and ended without gunfire. He was taken into custody without resistance. According to police, the house had been under surveillance before officers moved in.

Once inside, they discovered a trap door hidden in the stone floor. A staircase led down to a concealed bunker equipped with air conditioning, a bed, a fan, and a refrigerator. The home itself featured a private gym and games room.

The fugitive was then flown under armed escort to Guayaquil, where he was transferred to the maximum security La Roca prison, where Ecuadors most dangerous criminals are held.

President Daniel Noboa praised the operation and confirmed that Fito would be extradited to the United States, where he faces charges of cocaine trafficking.

More drug lords will fall, Noboa said. We will regain control of the country. Fitos capture is a major breakthrough for Ecuadors government, which has been battling escalating violence linked to the countrys powerful criminal networks.

His escape from La Regional prison in Guayaquil in January 2024 triggered a national security emergency and widespread prison riots that left several guards hostage.

It also prompted Noboa to declare a state of emergency and implement sweeping security reforms.

At the time of his escape, Fito was serving a 34 year sentence for murder and drug trafficking. From within prison, he continued to lead Los Choneros a gang involved in large scale drug trafficking, extortion, and assassinations.

Authorities say he is also suspected of ordering the assassination of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio in 2023, a killing that sent shockwaves through the country and the international community.

Under Fitos leadership, Los Choneros forged close links with Mexicos powerful Sinaloa cartel run by drug lord El Chapo.

Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa praised the security forces for capturing Fito and said that he would be extradited to the US, where he has been charged with cocaine smuggling

Though the arrest is a major victory for the Noboa administration, security experts warn that Los Choneros remain highly active and that Ecuadors criminal gangs will not be dismantled.
