Jesus Hernando Gutierrez Mansilla was a Bolivian lawyer and alleged cocaine trafficker.
He was the son of Alfredo "Cutuchi" Gutierrez, a notorious drug lord. Commonly known as "Nando" he gained notoriety when he was arrested in 1993 for his alleged involvement in the Narco Statue case where authorities seized a large amount of cocaine concealed inside tiny statues that were to be exported. According to Gutiérrez, he was taken to a detention house immediately after his arrest where he was tortured by Bolivian FELCN and DEA agents. He was never convicted and was out on parole within a few years.
In November 2008 Gutierrez was stabbed to death by an unknown assailant. The motives behind this murder are still unclear.
