A Colombian drugs lord wanted by the Dutch, Italian and Spanish police has been extradited to the Netherlands, the public prosecution department says.

The 57-year-old was arrested in Colombia in March last year to await extradition and arrived in the Netherlands last weekend.

He is named as Rafael Ivan ZC, and is said to be a vital link between the Colombian drugs industry and organised crime in Europe.
