Costa Rican authorities apprehended Jeffrey Francisco Carrasco Redondo, known as “Epy,” in Barva de Heredia on Wednesday. Carrasco is considered a significant leader within the “Los Maruja” drug trafficking organization, operating primarily in the Cartago province. The arrest follows months of evasion after a large-scale anti-drug operation targeted the group. Details regarding the initial operation and the charges against Carrasco have not been immediately released. Authorities believe Carrasco held a high-ranking position within the criminal network. His capture represents a notable success in ongoing efforts to dismantle “Los Maruja” and disrupt their illicit activities. The investigation remains active, with further arrests anticipated.
