Otoniel, whose full name is Dairo Antonio Úsuga David, is a notorious Colombian drug lord and the leader of the Gulf Clan, also known as the "Clan del Golfo" or the "Autodefensas Gaitanistas de Colombia" (AGC).

The Gulf Clan is one of Colombia's most powerful and dangerous criminal organizations, primarily involved in drug trafficking, extortion, illegal mining, and other criminal activities.Otoniel rose to prominence after the downfall of the larger drug cartel, the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), and the capture of its leaders.

He became one of the most wanted criminals in Colombia and the United States due to his role in coordinating large-scale drug trafficking operations, particularly the smuggling of cocaine into the United States and other international markets.

Under Otoniel's leadership, the Gulf Clan has established control over significant portions of drug production and trafficking routes in Colombia, particularly along the country's Pacific coast and in regions with limited government presence. The organization's activities have led to violence, displacement, and instability in these areas.

Efforts to capture Otoniel intensified over the years, as Colombian and international law enforcement agencies sought to dismantle the Gulf Clan's operations. The Colombian government offered substantial rewards for information leading to his arrest, reflecting the perceived threat he posed to security and stability in the country.

Finally, after years of evading capture, the Colombian military finally nabbed him. He was extradited to the United States and now will serve 45 years behind bars as a guest of the United States Government.
