British Narco who joined Colombian cartel arrested in Medellin

Christopher Neil fled England in 2018 after police say he was implicated in several murders. He then married into a cartel family in Colombia and became an important contact for importing drugs into England for the cartel.

Neil is alleged to be a key figure within the Clan del Golfo, one of Colombia’s most notorious drug cartels. Authorities claim Neil was responsible for coordinating the export of cocaine across the UK, including shipments to Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Investigations also link him to the transfer of more than £2 million from the UK to Colombia in 2023, underscoring the transnational nature of his operations.

His criminal activities reportedly date back years. Neil is believed to have fled to Colombia in December 2018 after being implicated in two murders in England that investigators say were connected to gang disputes. His arrival in Medellín marked the start of his deeper involvement in Colombia’s criminal underworld.

According to Colombia’s National Police, Neil’s personal life further entrenched him in these circles. He is in a relationship with the daughter of Jesús Ignacio Roldán – “Monoleche” – a former leader of the disbanded paramilitary group United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), a connection that allegedly facilitated his dealings with local crime syndicates.
