Administrator Cole's Statement on the Capture of Sebastian Marset
"Nearly one year ago, DEA added Sebastián Marset to its Most Wanted Fugitive List with a commitment to relentlessly pursue and dismantle his drug trafficking organization. Today, DEA agents escorted Marset to the United States where he will now face charges connected to cocaine trafficking and money laundering. This arrest marks a significant step towards a safer, more secure America. DEA is focused on disrupting transnational criminal organizations and strengthening national security by targeting drug traffickers at every level – including leaders responsible for moving drugs and illicit proceeds across borders, and for using violence and murder to further their global operations. This weekend’s actions reflect the dedication of the men and women of DEA and the power of strong partnerships. We are grateful for Bolivian law enforcement’s assistance in capturing Marset. DEA’s renewed focus on partnerships and global enforcement efforts continue to deliver results for Americans."
