Manuel Noriega, the former military dictator of Panama, was arrested primarily for drug trafficking, racketeering, and money laundering. His capture in December 1989 followed a U.S. invasion of Panama, which aimed to remove him from power due to his involvement in narcotics and his increasingly authoritarian regime. Noriega's ties to drug cartels and his role in undermining democracy in Panama also contributed to his arrest and subsequent extradition to the United States, where he faced multiple charges.
