Alleged Colombian cartel member and murderer appears in Brooklyn federal court
An alleged member of Colombia’s largest criminal band who shipped tens of tons of cocaine into the U.S. appeared at Brooklyn’s federal court Monday ahead of his future sentencing date.
Orlando Gutierrez-Rendon pleaded guilty on April 17 to continuing a criminal enterprise, allegedly Clan Usuga, formerly Los Urabenos.
Gutierrez-Rendon is being held in custody and was smiling as he was escorted out of the courtroom by U.S. marshals after a short court appearance.
