FILE - This file photo provided by the U.S. Department of Justice on March 26, 2020 shows a reward poster for Cliver Alcala-Cordones. In March, Alcalá was indicted alongside Nicolas Maduro as one of the ringleaders of a narcoterrorist conspiracy that allegedly sent 250 metric tons of cocaine every year to the U.S. But before his surrender in Colombia, where he had been living openly since 2018, he had emerged as a forceful opponent of Maduro, one not shy of urging military force.
