A highly sought-after drug kingpin was captured when officials tracked his wife’s social media account and pinpointed his location during their lavish European vacation.
Luis Manuel Picado Grijalba, 43, was arrested at a London airport in December after he was accused of shipping cocaine from Limón, Costa Rica to the US, Nicaragua’s La Prensa reported.
Grijabla, who goes by his alias “Shock,” was wanted by the US Drug Enforcement Administration for several months for his alleged involvement in international drug trafficking, said Randall Zúñiga the director of Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Department (OIJ).
The alleged kingpin – who rarely traveled with his 32-year-old wife – reportedly purchased $20,000 worth of plane tickets to fly his wife and family to Europe.
Grijabla, who is a naturalized Costa Rican citizen, met his wife in Paris and had planned to ring in the New Year with his family in England before his arrest.
To document the vacation, Grijabla’s wife, Estefania McDonald Rodriguez, made several posts to a now-deleted Instagram account during her European travels, according to The Sun.
One post captured the couple posing underneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Zúñiga said that Rodriguez frequently traveled abroad and posted about her adventures across her social media platforms, the outlet added.
She boasted about her vacations on sunny beaches, where she was spotted holding two parrots, and in Rome where she sat in front of the famed Trevi Fountain.

It had better be another powerful crime lord or she’s going to get chopped into little pieces at the behest of her ex.
She needs the tee shirt that says “I wish these were brains!”
“Joo got some splainin to do!”
It does not matter who the person is, a drug king pins wife, a law abiding citizen such as a J6’er or anyone else. The level of stupidity when it comes to digital security is endless. It’s like moths to a flame, they can’t wait to be monitored by someone and victimized.
And as for this story’s “double D” babe, those things never impressed me. What comes natural is always sexier.
Trophy wife vs smart wife. Fortunately I got both.
I had to laugh. Even though “I love Lucy” has been continuously on cable for decades I suspect darn few people under 40 will catch the reference.
Wow is that stupid. But it looks like he had one heluva fun week!!
A skirt......it’s ALWAYS a skirt. SMH

Some might. I never saw I Love Lucy during its original run (which ended when I was two), only as syndicated reruns.
lol
Ahh... those dang Irish Hispanicans again...
Wonder how much information Luis Manuel Picado Grijalba will give up?.
No prison is safe a guy that had an island raps box.
Wife is a bit too ‘full-figured’ for me, but then I’m not a bad-ass drug kingpin.
Her photo with the birds looked promising but I grant you that the other photos showed a gal who could drop a few pounds. Maybe 20. Still . . .
