After a year on the run following a sensational prison escape, Ecuador's most wanted fugitive, Fito, was recaptured by cops - with the help of his three-year-old daughter.
The ruthless gang leader's prison break triggered a wave of violence in the country, but now, he faces extradition to the US to face multiple felony charges.
His arrest came after his own daughter accidentally revealed his location, giving cops a chance to swoop in.
Before his escape in January 2024, he had been held in prison, where he was serving a 34-year sentence for organised crime, drug trafficking, and murder.
Real named Jose Adolfo Macias Vilamir, Fito has also been charged in absentia by American prosecutors with seven counts of cocaine distribution, conspiracy and firearms-related crimes, including weapons smuggling.
