Colombia’s once most celebrated businessman arrested

The former director of Colombia’s largest but now-defunct brokerage firm Interbolsa was captured on Thursday, only eight days after the release of a “red notice” permitting his arrest.
Victor Maldonado, once one of Colombia’s most celebrated businessmen, was captured in Spain, according to Colombian newspaper Caracol News. He had previously been spotted in Madrid.
The fugitive received a “red notice” from police network Interpol last week for his involvement in the illegal activities of the firm which lost over 20,000 investors an estimated $500 million in 2012.
Maldonado had previously received an Interpol “blue notice,” allowing for his location to be identified by police in the 192 countries associated with the organisation. However, this was raised to “red” to allow for his capture after he did not turn up to a complaint hearing in Bogota.
