SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) — Costa Rican authorities say they have arrested a drug trafficker wanted in El Salvador as he entered the country hidden inside a trailer truck driven by his father, who was also arrested. They found $1.1 million in cash hidden in a spare tire.
Security Minister Celso Gamboa said Tuesday the younger man last week abandoned a truck carrying about 280 pounds (127 kilograms) of cocaine after Salvadoran police spotted him.
