Drug Kingpin Arrested After Wife̢۪s Lavish Post Gave Away His Location (Photos)



Drug kingpin arrested in UK after wife posted lavish vacation photos online, giving away his location

A highly sought-after drug kingpin, Luis Manuel Picado Grijalba, was captured after authorities tracked his wife̢۪s social media activity, which inadvertently revealed his location during their extravagant European getaway.

Grijalba, 43, was arrested at a London airport in December. He was accused of orchestrating cocaine shipments from Limón, Costa Rica, to the United States, according to Nicaragua’s La Prensa. The fugitive, who operated under the alias “Shock,” had been wanted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for months due to his alleged involvement in international drug trafficking, said Randall Zúñiga, director of Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Department (OIJ).

Grijalba̢۪s downfall was reportedly set in motion by his wife, Estefania McDonald Rodriguez, who unknowingly led authorities to her husband by sharing photos from their luxury vacation online. One of the images showed her posing with exotic birds, prompting investigators to narrow down their whereabouts.

Despite rarely traveling with his 32-year-old wife, Grijalba splurged on a $20,000 trip to Europe, flying his family first-class to meet him in Paris. His plan was to celebrate the New Year in England, but authorities intercepted him before the festivities could begin.
