Juan Carlos Ramirez Abadia

Juan Carlos Ramirez Abadia's beach house in Brazil's Santa Catarina state fetched more than $1.1 million, while a second home in an upscale beach town near Rio de Janeiro sold for $910,000
A small ranch in Brazil's southeastern Minas Gerais state drew $370,000, according to the Web site of auctioneer Judicial Electronic Auction.
Still for sale are the swank Sao Paulo mansion where Ramirez Abadia was arrested last August and a plot of land in Brazil's southern Rio Grande do Sul state, worth a combined $1.5 million.
Bids were taken simultaneously online and in an auditorium in Sao Paulo, and buyers' identities were not released.
Ramirez Abadia _ nicknamed "Chupeta," or "Lollipop" _ is accused of leading the powerful Norte del Valle cartel. In 1996 he was convicted on drug charges in Colombia, and was freed from prison in 2001.
His re-arrest last year in Brazil followed a two-year investigation into Colombian drug traffickers who send large amounts of cocaine to the U.S. and Europe.

He is now being held in a federal prison in Mato Grosso do Sul state while Brazil's Supreme Court considers a U.S. request to extradite him on drug and racketeering charges.
