BOGOTA, Colombia —
One of the alleged leaders of the Cali cocaine cartel surrendered Saturday, the fifth kingpin of the world’s biggest drug gang to wind up behind bars in less than a month.

Arizabaleta is believed to be among the more violent leaders of the Cali cartel, which has been hit by almost daily raids recently.
