A proposito di questo titolo

This episode dives into the rise and fall of the Cali Cartel, often overshadowed by Pablo Escobar's Medellín Cartel but ultimately more sophisticated and longer-lasting. We explore the cartel's origins in the 1970s with the Rodríguez Orejuela brothers, their shift from kidnapping to cocaine trafficking, and their unique business model that prioritized bribery over violence. Lucas and Luna discuss the cartel's infiltration of Colombia's government and economy, including the 1994 Ernesto Samper campaign scandal. The conversation also covers the cartel's eventual downfall in the mid-1990s, led by the Cali Cartel's own former allies and the US-backed Bloque de Búsqueda. We touch on the legacy of the cartel's leaders, including Miguel Rodríguez Orejuela's current imprisonment in the US, and how their methods influenced modern drug trafficking.
