墨西哥海軍擒獲販毒集團首領科斯蒂亞

The Mexican Navy says its forces have captured one of the country's most notorious drug cartel leaders. Costilla was arrested Wednesday in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas.

墨西哥海軍說，他們已經抓獲墨西哥最臭名昭著的販毒集團首領之一科斯蒂亞。科斯蒂亞在墨西哥東北部的塔毛利帕斯州就擒。

Costilla, also known as "El Coss," joined the Gulf Cartel in the 1990s when it was run by Osiel. Costilla remained with the cartel after Osiel was arrested in 2003, and assumed control in 2010 after Osiel's brother was killed in a shootout with Mexican troops.

科斯蒂亞又名“艾爾-科斯”，他於上世紀90年代加入“海灣”販毒集團，當時該集團的首腦是奧西爾。奧西爾2003年被逮捕後，科斯蒂亞仍然留在“海灣”販毒集團。奧西爾的兄弟同墨西哥軍隊槍戰時被擊斃後，科斯蒂亞於2010年開始控制“海灣”販毒集團。

Mexican authorities had offered a $2.2 million award for his Costilla's arrest, with the U.S. State Department offering an additional $5.5 million bounty.

墨西哥當局曾懸賞220萬美元捉拿科斯蒂亞，美國國務院另提供懸賞550萬美元。
