Iván Urdinola Grajales (1 December 1960 – 2 February 2002), also known by the nickname 'El enano' (English: The Dwarf), was a Colombian drug lord who was one of the leaders of the notorious Norte del Valle Cartel.
[1] Despite being born into a wealthy family, Urdinola gave up studying at the university due to poverty and an economic crisis in Colombia.
[2] Urdinola became a middle command of the Cartel and trusted by the Rodríguez Orejuela brothers operating in the North of the Valle del Cauca Department.
[3][4] After several months of intelligence, in April 1992 the police finally found the Urdinola's residence La Porcelana in Zarzal, with some of his bodyguards.
[5] Urdinola, without putting up any kind of resistance, asked the security forces officer in charge of the operation for a few minutes to bathe, change his clothes, and say goodbye to his wife and children.
