Venezuelan authorities have arrested an alleged French drug trafficker and plan to deport him back to his homeland.
Jean Marie Bonnamy is suspected of smuggling cocaine between Venezuela and France, including a 2,123-pound (963-kilogram) shipment that was seized by French authorities off the Caribbean island of Saint Martin on Nov. 25.
Venezuela's state-run ABN news agency reported Tuesday that federal police arrested the 51-year-old Bonnamy the previous day on Margarita Island. The agency says French authorities were involved in his capture.
Venezuela is a major hub for traffickers smuggling Colombian cocaine to the United States and Europe.
