Costa Rican Drug Kingpin Arrested in UK After Wife's Social Media Posts Reveal Location

Luis Manuel Picado Grijalba, wanted for cocaine trafficking, was apprehended in London after DEA agents tracked his wife's travel photos online.

Luis Manuel Picado Grijalba, also known as 'Shock,' was arrested in London after his wife's social media posts revealed their European travel itinerary.
Grijalba, a naturalized Costa Rican citizen, is accused of exporting cocaine from Costa Rica to the United States and faces extradition to the US.
US DEA agents monitored his wife Estefania McDonald Rodriguez's frequent and detailed social media posts, which included photos from Paris, Rome, and London.
The arrest was carried out with assistance from the UK's National Crime Agency after an international warrant was issued at the DEA's request.
Grijalba, who has survived two assassination attempts in Costa Rica, is contesting extradition, while the case highlights gaps in Costa Rican law enforcement's ability to prosecute him domestically.
