He was previously incarcerated in a maximum-security prison, serving a 34-year sentence for drug trafficking and murder. His extradition follows a January 2024 escape, triggering a nationwide manhunt led by the Ecuadorian government. Macias was eventually recaptured on June 25, found hiding in a bunker in the port city of Manta, known as a base for his gang 'Los Choneros.' He is expected to plead not guilty in a New York federal court.
