Fernando Gutierrez Perez, 29, was put on a plane bound for the United States early Wednesday, said Diva Rojas, a spokeswoman for the secret police. He was wanted in Arizona on cocaine-trafficking and money-laundering charges.
The extradition and the raid came amid allegations the government was easing its fight with drug traffickers, whose bombings and other attacks since August have left more than 200 people dead.
