BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — One of Colombia's most-hunted drug traffickers has been killed in a military raid, President Juan Manuel Santos announced Friday.
Victor Navarro, a 39-year-old better known by the alias "Megateo," long dominated the historically lawless Catatumbo region near Venezuela where he was killed. With a $5 million U.S. bounty on his head, he had faced 45 different arrest warrants and was especially hunted for a 2006 ambush in which his men killed 17 soldiers and intelligence agents who had set out from Bogota seeking to capture him.
Navarro claimed to lead the last remaining faction of the Popular Liberation Army, a rebel movement that disbanded in 1991, but authorities said he was one of Colombia's biggest cocaine traffickers.

"With a $5 million U.S. bounty on his head"
I wonder what happens with the bounty in a situation like this where he is killed by the Colombia military?
