A judge has sentenced reputed Colombian drug lord Juan Carlos Ramirez Abadia to more than 30 years in prison for crimes he committed in Brazil. Ramirez Abadia, who is also wanted in the United States, has been found guilty of money laundering, corruption, criminal conspiracy and use of false documents. Besides the 30-year sentence, Ramirez Abadia must also pay a fine worth $2.5 million. Judge Fausto Martin de Sanctis sentenced Ramirez Abadia's wife, Yessica Paola Rojas Morales, to more than 11 years in prison. Last month, Brazil's Supreme Court ruled Ramirez Abadia can be extradited to the United States to face racketeering charges. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will have the final word on his extradition. Copyright © 2008 The Seattle Times Company
