Biography[edit]

Criminal career[edit]

He was the son of Alfredo "Cutuchi" Gutierrez, a notorious drug lord. Commonly known as "Nando" he gained notoriety when he was arrested in 1993 for his alleged involvement in the Narco Statue case where authorities seized a large amount of cocaine concealed inside tiny statues that were to be exported. According to Gutiérrez, he was taken to a detention house immediately after his arrest where he was tortured by Bolivian FELCN and DEA agents.[1] He was never convicted and was out on parole within a few years.

Death[edit]

In November 2008 Gutierrez was stabbed to death by an unknown assailant. The motives behind this murder are still unclear.
