Édgar Alonso Valencia Quesada

Édgar Alonso Valencia Quesada is a Colombian national who was captured in June 2023 in Bogotá. He is alleged to be the leader of an international criminal network that defrauded investors in multiple countries, including Venezuela, Malta, and the United States, through false investment schemes. Additionally, he is linked to the murder of a Venezuelan businessman who had reported him for fraud. His extradition has become a significant issue, as the Colombian Supreme Court weighs the legitimacy of the Venezuelan regime's request amid concerns over human rights violations.
