Video: This is how a drug dealer wanted for fentanyl trafficking was caught exercising in the gym of an upscale Medellin mall.

A Canadian national, Arif Jhuman, was arrested by Colombian and international authorities while exercising at a high-end gym in Medellín. He was wanted for drug trafficking, specifically fentanyl, and arms smuggling. Jhuman, who used false documents to enter Colombia last year, had been sought by Canadian and U.S. justice systems for violations of his conditional release terms and for trafficking offenses. The arrest involved agents from Colombia’s Drug Directorate, the Canadian Police, and the DEA. Authorities say Jhuman’s network is linked to multiple murders in Canada and has been under investigation. Medellín’s mayor praised the operation, emphasizing the city’s cooperation with international agencies to combat transnational criminal networks.
