Makias
Makias is the leader of the notorious Ecuadorian gang 'Los Choneros'. He gained international attention after being arrested following a dramatic escape from a maximum-security prison. In April 2023, U.S. prosecutors charged him with cocaine distribution, conspiracy, and firearms violations. He recently became the first Ecuadorian to be extradited to the United States after a referendum allowed for stricter measures against criminal gangs, marking a significant shift in Ecuador's approach to organized crime.
