Pazooki Farhad, a Norwegian drug kingpin known as 'The Professor', has been arrested in Bogotá, Colombia, accused of leading a major cocaine trafficking operation utilizing sailboats to transport drugs from South America to Europe. Captured at El Dorado Airport, Farhad's right-hand man, Bernsten Bjarte, was apprehended in Barranquilla. Investigations have linked Farhad to Colombia's largest cartel, Clan del Golfo, and major Mexican cartels, including Sinaloa and Jalisco Nueva Generacion.

His arrest follows the extradition of another trafficker, dubbed the 'Pirate of the Unknown', highlighting ongoing efforts against drug trafficking networks.
