Alleged Colombian cartel head due in New York court after extradition

Victims of paramilitaries demand Dairo Antonio Usuga come clean about atrocities committed by forces he commanded

The accused head of Colombia's Gulf Clan cartel is due to appear in a federal court in New York on Thursday, as victims in his home country call for guarantees that he will come clean on atrocities committed by the feared paramilitary fighters he once commanded.

Dairo Antonio Usuga, who is Colombia's most wanted drug suspect for nearly a decade, was extradited from Colombia late on Wednesday on cocaine and weapons charges.
