Juan José Valencia Zuluaga

Juan José Valencia Zuluaga, also known by aliases such as 'Amor', 'Falcón', and 'Gordo Andrea', is a Colombian national who recently made headlines after being released from a federal prison in the United States. His involvement in narcotrafficking spanned over a decade, where he played a crucial yet discreet role within the 'Clan del Golfo', a powerful criminal organization. Known for managing financial operations rather than direct involvement in violence, Valencia Zuluaga was extradited to the U.S. in 2022 on drug-related charges. He accepted a plea deal, cooperating with authorities and providing information about international drug trafficking operations, including connections to a Serbian ex-boxer involved in massive cocaine shipments. Following his release, he will remain in the U.S. under supervised conditions.
