Dolly Cifuentes Villa

Very little is known about Villa's early life. Villa is part of a drug trafficking family known as the Cifuentes Villa clan[5] or the Cifuentes-Villa Drug Trafficking Organization.[6] Originally, the clan was led by three of Villa's brothers. Francisco Cifuentes Villa was a pilot for Pablo Escobar with assets estimated at over US$200 million before his death.[7] Fernando Cifuentes Villa was associated with the Cali Cartel before his death.[8] The third, Jorge Milton Cifuentes Villa, was arrested in Venezuela in 2012.[9] It is unknown if Villa has a husband.

The Cifuentes Villa clan has allegedly moved over 30 tons of cocaine for the Sinaloa Cartel since 2007[17] despite the original leaders of the clan being arrested or killed. Dolly Cifuentes Villa was arrested in Colombia in 2011 and extradited to the United States in 2012, where she was charged with five crimes.[18] Four of the five were withdrawn by the prosecution.[19] Villa was charged with the fifth, conspiracy to import and manufacture cocaine.[20] The charges carried a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, but due to a sealed agreement between Colombia and the United States, she could not face a life sentence or the death penalty.[21] Villa's lawyer asked the judge to maintain the secrecy of the investigation for the safety of Villa's family. She was released in 2015 and returned to Colombia.[22]
