Uruguayan man accused of leading a major cocaine ring and money laundering operation appeared in U.S. court on March 16, 2026, after being arrested in Bolivia.
Sebastian Marset, a 34-year-old Uruguayan national and alleged leader of a major cocaine trafficking operation, appeared in a U.S. federal court in Virginia on March 16, 2026, after being arrested in Bolivia.
He faces charges of money laundering conspiracy tied to a network that allegedly shipped thousands of pounds of cocaine to Europe.
Authorities say he used drug profits to buy and sponsor soccer teams across Latin America and Europe, even playing in matches.
Marset, previously imprisoned in Uruguay from 2013 to 2018, had lived in Bolivia and Paraguay while evading capture.
Bolivian officials seized $15 million in assets, including 16 planes, five homes, and firearms.
A close associate was sentenced to 15 years in prison in July after pleading guilty.
If convicted, Marset could face up to 20 years in prison.
