Extradition|引渡
哥伦比亚政府9日发表公报宣布,总统乌里韦日前批准把哥第二大国际贩毒团伙卡利集团的头目希尔韦托·罗德里格斯·奥雷胡埃拉引渡到美国接受审判。新华社报道如下:Colombian President Alvaro Uribe on Tuesday approved the extradition of one of the country's most notorious drug lords, former Cali cocaine cartel boss Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela, to the United States for trial.
Led by Rodriguez Orejuela and his brother Miguel, the Cali group had grown into the world's top drug cartel in the late 1980safter the downfall of its rival Medellin.
Extradition表示“引渡,得到…的引渡”,表示把对(逃犯等)的合法审判权放弃或让给另一政府或当局,是extradite的名词形式。例如:The Spanish police have refused to extradite a man wanted for a bank robbery in France.(西班牙警方拒绝引渡一个在法国抢劫银行而被通缉的人。)
据悉,现年63岁的希尔韦托·罗德里格斯绰号"棋手"。自上世纪八十年代末以来,他与其弟弟米格尔·罗德里格斯一直是卡利集团的头号和二号头目。卡利集团是哥伦比亚麦德林集团覆灭后的又一特大国际贩毒团伙,一度控制着世界上80%的可卡因交易,每年走私毒品的利润高达80亿美元。
