TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A Colombian cocaine trafficker who U.S. authorities say used submarine-like vessels to move major drug loads has been sentenced to more than 19 years in federal prison.

Prosecutors said Wednesday a Tampa federal judge imposed the sentence on 39-year-old Alex Gonzalez-Arango. He pleaded guilty to U.S. drug charges in March.
