圣何塞8月13日电（路透社）——哥斯达黎加总检察长周四表示，哥斯达黎加已将两名涉嫌毒贩引渡至美国受审，两人分别为绰号“可卡因壮汉”的吉尔伯特·贝尔·费尔南德斯，以及绰号“老伙计”的加布里埃尔·洛萨诺。
两人将在纽约美国联邦法院受审。

美国于2023年对62岁的贝尔实施制裁，称其“近期在将哥斯达黎加转变为主要毒品转运枢纽的过程中发挥了重要作用”。贝尔自2024年起因盗窃国有燃油罪名在圣何塞被关押。
当局指控拥有哥斯达黎加国籍的哥伦比亚人洛萨诺利用该国作为可卡因贩运的关键中转点，将南美生产的可卡因运往更北部的市场。
哥斯达黎加总检察长卡洛·迪亚兹在一份视频声明中表示，此次引渡是与美国及国际当局合作的成果，“我们在打击犯罪、特别是国际贩毒的斗争中拥有共同目标”。
面对贩毒团伙扩张引发的暴力激增，哥斯达黎加在2025年批准了对涉及贩毒或恐怖主义指控的本国公民进行引渡。
今年3月，首批根据该法案被引渡的哥斯达黎加公民落网。当局表示，目前约有20名哥斯达黎加嫌疑人面临引渡程序，另有数量相当的外国公民也处于该程序中。

SAN JOSE, Aug 13 (Reuters) – Costa Rica has extradited two alleged drug traffickers to the U.S. to face charges, Costa Rica’s attorney general said on Thursday, identifying the suspects as Gilbert Bell Fernandez, known as Macho Coca, and Gabriel Lozano, nicknamed Compadre.
They are due to face trial in U.S. federal court in New York.

The U.S. imposed sanctions on Bell, 62, in 2023 for what it said was his “significant role in the recent transformation of Costa Rica into a major narcotics transit hub.” He had been jailed in San Jose since 2024 on charges of stealing state-owned fuel.
Authorities accuse Lozano, a Colombian who obtained Costa Rican citizenship, of using the country as a key transit point for cocaine moving from South American producers to markets farther north.
Costa Rica Attorney General Carlo Diaz said in a video statement that the extraditions were the result of cooperation with U.S. and international authorities “in which we share common objectives in the fight against crime, especially international drug trafficking.”
Confronted with a surge in violence tied to the spread of drug trafficking groups, Costa Rica in 2025 approved the extradition of its citizens on drug trafficking or terrorism charges.
The first Costa Ricans were extradited under the measure in March. Authorities have said about 20 Costa Rican suspects are currently facing extradition proceedings, along with a similar number of foreign nationals.
