Extraditions deputy minister Gisela Cueto said Rodríguez belonged to a drug ring headed by his brother "Rodriguez Interprises," which distributed marijuana in New York, where authorities say they amassed a fortune of US$25.0 million.
Manuel Rodriguez is in a United States prison.
According to the extradition request, the two brothers stranded their victim in a park and buried the body, which police later found.
