Bubo Na Tchuto

José Américo Bubo Na Tchuto (born 12 June 1949 Incalá, Tombali Region, Guinea-Bissau)[1] is an admiral in the Navy of Guinea-Bissau. He was previously Chief of Staff of the Navy.[2] Until August 8, 2008 he was Vice-Chief of the Navy.[3]

Arrest

Bubo Na Tchuto was captured in international waters near Cape Verde on 2 April 2013 during an operation by North American and Cape Verdian police, and extradited to the United States for trial in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.[4] He was charged on 5 April with conspiring to import drugs into the U.S., while several co-conspirators were charged with conspiring to engage in narco-terrorism, import drugs into the U.S., and provide aid to FARC by storing its cocaine in West Africa. According to prosecutors, Bubo na Tchuto suggested the time was ripe to use Guinea-Bissau to smuggle contraband after the 2012 Guinea-Bissau coup d'etat.[5][6][7]

gollark: Captchas are designed to inflict suffering.
gollark: In general, definitely.
gollark: Anyway, did you solve the vectory thing yet?
