Juan Nepomuceno Guerra

**Juan Nepomuceno Guerra** was a Mexican drug lord, bootlegger and smuggler who founded the Gulf Cartel.

Guerra began his smuggling career by shipping bootleg alcohol into the United States in the 1930s, and after the Prohibition ended, moved to smuggling coffee, humans and opium. In 1986, Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo of the Guadalajara Cartel convinced him to start smuggling cocaine to taunt the Colombian drug cartels. However, Guerra only feigned interest in Miguel's partnership. He instead formed a partnership with the Cali Cartel.

After suffering a stroke in the early 1990s, he handed over the leadership to his nephew Juan García Abrego.
Franklin Jurado

**Franklin Jurado** was a Colombian banker who ran the money laundering operations for the Cali cartel till his death in 1994.

Jurado earned two degrees at Harvard University, where he met his future wife Christina. After his return to Colombia, he served as a director at the First InterAmericas Bank, which was owned by Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela, the leader of the Cali cartel. Later, he began money laundering for José Santacruz Londoño, before being promoted to handle the entire money laundering operation for the cartel. Jurado spoke five languages, and used his wife's American passport to form limited partnerships and shell companies across the Caribbean and Europe to aid the cartel's sophisticated money laundering operation.

Jurado ran one of the worlds most complex money laundering processes for the Cali cartel, which was virtually undetected for many years. However, a computer glitch in a Monaco-based bank eventually gave away Jurado's money laundering process.

After gathering sufficient evidence, the United States issued an arrest warrant for Franklin. DEA agent Javier Peña tracked and arrested Franklin in Curaçao. Jurado was extradited to Miami where cartel lawyer Alan Starkman represented him. Under Starkman's advice, Jurado refused to collaborate unless he got to talk to his wife, who at that point was kidnapped by the Cali cartel and handed over to the FARC rebels. Peña rescued Christina from the FARC using the help of Diego Murillo Bejarano and the Castaño brothers. However, before Christina could be brought to America; the cartel killed Franklin inside the prison.
Lugo

**Lugo** is a Colombian security guard who provided security for Pablo Escobar's family under the orders of Attorney General Gustavo de Greiff.

Lugo notices Tata Escobar using a radio communicator to talk to Pablo, and he manages to obtain the frequencies used. He contacts his friend Trujillo, and requests a meeting with an American agent, Steve Murphy. Murphy and Trujillo travel to Bogota, and meet Lugo in a coffee shop, where he passes on the radio frequencies. When Murphy states that he is unable to provide cash or visa, Lugo angrily asserts that he has no intentions to migrate, and wants the DEA to kill the drug lord and restore order in the country, and storms off.
Enrique

**Enrique** (died 1995) was a member of the Cali Cartel's security apparatus and worked under Carlo Cordova, and later Jorge Salcedo.

Despite being innocent, Salcedo frames him for the leak in the security which nearly results in the capture of Miguel Rodriguez Orejuela. Enrique is later strangulated and killed by cartel *sicarios* in front of Miguel, David Rodriguez and Salcedo after the former came to know of the betrayal.
Ernesto Sobrino

**Ernesto Sobrino** was a Colombian communist and a liberation theology priest.

Sobrino ran the Los Altos *communa*, where he gave shelter to several communist fugitives who were on the run from the Colombian Army and several other right-wing paramilitaries. One such communist he sheltered was Elisa Álvarez, who was a member of the M-19 guerrilla organization responsible for the Palace of Justice siege.

The US Colonel Louis Wysession, who was in-charge of tracking down communists, believed that Sobrino and Alvarez were involved in the siege. Elisa managed to disappear, but Sobrino eventually found himself in CIA custody, where he was waterboarded by Wysession and a CIA officer. Sobrino initially resisted torture, but eventually gave in and revealed that Elisa had fled the country with the help of DEA agent Steve Murphy's wife, Connie.
Claudia Messina

**Claudia Messina** was an American DEA attaché sent to Colombia to oversee the capture of drug lord Pablo Escobar.

A tough but fair leader, she demanded discipline and perfection from all her workers, going as far as to almost firing Steve Murphy after the latter had a drunken fit until his partner Javier Pena stepped in defending him explaining that Murphy was drinking because he was having marriage problems with his wife Connie who wants to go back to Miami after Steve gets kidnaped by the Cali cartel but Murphy didn't want to leave until he brings down Medellín cartel and Escobar is dead or imprisoned. After hearing Pena's plea, Messina decides to give Murphy a chance to clean himself up and try to figure out a way to make things work at home with Connie or she'll send him back to Miami to which he was able to do so and was back in professional shape.

She crossed swords with the CIA as they prevented the DEA from going after Escobar's rivals in Cali. The CIA wanted the Los Pepes and Cali cartel to stay in power to prevent various left-wing organizations from taking over the void left by the Medellín cartel after Escobar's downfall. She later discovered that Peña was collaborating with Los Pepes by sharing classified intelligence. In order to prevent this from causing a scandal, she agreed to allow Peña to allow distraught Los Pepes co-leader Judy Moncada to act as an informant for the DEA after she was removed from the organization. However, CIA Station Chief Bill Stechner forces Moncada to be an informant for the CIA instead and ordered her to blame Peña and the DEA for the creation of Los Pepes. As a result, Messina is transferred back to the United States along with Pena after being declared Persona Non Grata.

Osuna Nava then gets in contact with smuggler Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo, and decides to eliminate Pedro Avilés and make the young Felix Gallardo the leader of the new organization, creating the Guadalajara cartel.

Osuna Nava treated the young leader with contempt and disdain, and frequently got into conflict with the other smugglers of the cartel, going as far as eliminating a few for not receiving adequate payment. Nava later forces Felix Gallardo to deliver American weapons to a Nicaraguan rebel group. Unbeknownst to Felix Gallardo, Osuna Nava gave instructions to the Nicaraguans to torture Miguel and his pilot. Miguel loses his patience with Osuna Nava, and decides to seek protection from powerful politicians, including Nava's "bosses."

Mateo Moreno

**Mateo Moreno**, known by his nickname **Cockroach,** was a Chilean drug chemist and one of the founding members of the Medellín cartel.

Moreno fled Chile in October 1973 when the military junta began clamping down on drug traffickers, and they gunned down many drug dealers who were at a cocaine exporting center. The exporting center was hidden in deserts to hide the labs and miles of unpatrolled coastline to ship cocaine up north. After the military shot and killed the drug dealers Moreno knew, luckily the bullets missed him and wasn't killed on that day. Using his knowledge of cocaine production, he traveled to Colombia and partnered with smuggler Pablo Escobar. Sourcing raw materials from Peru, Moreno began producing cocaine, which Escobar sold in the United States for profit.

Using his newly acquired wealth, Escobar convinced other Colombian traffickers like José Rodríguez Gacha and the Ochoa brothers to join their organization, forming the Medellín cartel. Moreno was against Escobar working with the other traffickers, as he felt that his share of the revenue would decrease. While Escobar and his associates grew rich and began moving into various mansions across Colombia, Moreno was forcibly confined to the jungles, spending his time in several of the cartel's cocaine labs.

Dissatisfied with Escobar, Moreno leaks the details of Escobar's shipments from Peru to the DAS, resulting in confiscation of millions of dollars worth of Escobar's shipments in 1979. Moreno also began stealing from Escobar in the United States by hiring German Zapata, a plumber, to secretly sell Escobar's cocaine without his knowledge.

Gilberto hired his son as his personal lawyer after his unexpected arrest in 1994. He began a negotiation with the prosecution in order to secure his father's release. He told his father that his personal accountant Guillermo Pallomari knew too much about the workings of the cartel, and Gilberto sent Navegante to assassinate him. However, the DEA secured Pallomari and placed him under witness protection in the United States, and had him, along with Jorge Salcedo testify against the Cali cartel in American courts.

However, the plan failed as Félix was warned by Mexico's defense secretary to not enter the United States.
Tranquilandia raid

The **Tranquilandia raid** was a joint DEA-CNP raid on the Tranquilandia, a large cocaine production laboratory located in the jungles of Colombia operated by the Medellín cartel, in 1984.

The DEA installed a tracking device on a shipment of ether, a critical ingredient in the production of cocaine, bound from the United States to Colombia. They tracked the shipment and discovered the location of the lab, and the CNP raided the complex. The ensuing gun battle resulted in the deaths of several Colombian policemen and cartel gunmen.

Palace of Justice siege

The **Palace of Justice siege** occurred between November 6-7, 1985 when 40 heavily armed guerrillas of the M-19 movement stormed and took over the premises of Colombia's Supreme Court.

The guerrillas, led by Iván Torres, made demands about the redistribution of wealth and an end to injustice and tyranny. However, they actually took over the palace to burn and destroy nearly 6,000 pages of evidence incriminating Medellín cartel leader Pablo Escobar, who ordered and financed the operation. The guerrillas also killed half of the judges of the Supreme Court. A brutal firefight ensured after the Colombian Army stormed the building and killed many of the M-19 gunmen. The Supreme Court building was also severely damaged.

Torres and a few other guerrillas escaped the building after destroying the evidence, and met with Escobar. The drug lord thanked them for their service, and returned them the sword of Simon Bolivar, which Torres gave to Escobar in 1981. However, immediately afterwards, Escobar's *sicarios* open fired on the surviving guerrilas and killed everyone, including Torres.

## Aftermath

Elisa Álvarez, a high ranking M-19 member who refused to work from drug traffickers, defected to the DEA after the meeting between Escobar and Torres prior to the attack. She revealed Escobar's role in the attack to the DEA, which allowed the DEA to receive US military and CIA assistance.

In 1994, he accompanied his brother to Ciudad Juárez, Mexico and they both stayed in a compound owned by Juárez cartel leader Amado Carrillo Fuentes. Amado however later formed an alliance with the Norte del Valle cartel, and as a result allowed members of the Norte del Valle cartel to attack Pacho’s compound and kill the Herreras. Alvaro was heavily injured during the gunfight. Pacho instructed Alvaro to continue shooting at the perpetrators, one of whom including Duvan Salazar, one of Gerda's son. Pacho countered the gunfight and kicked the door open, firing his pistol at the two men shooting at Alvaro, killing Duvan and the other.

Alvaro falls unconscious and a scene shows Alvaro in medical care in a car, later revealed that he will be in a wheelchair. Vengeance takes over Pacho, having his men attack the Salazar compound and personally executed Gerda Salazar before surrendering to general Rosso José Serrano.
The Lion

**The Lion** was a drug smuggler who represented the Medellín cartel's Miami operations.

## Biography

The Lion was an old friend of Gustavo Gaviria but had spent much of his life in the United States. It was The Lion who first brought cocaine to Miami, wearing a jacket Hermilda had made and filled with cocaine. He made over twenty flights back and forth between Miami and Colombia, and soon had to start finding other methods of transporting the drug, such as bribing pilots. He would have pregnant women swallow small bags of cocaine; one of these women ended up in a Miami hospital and was treated by Connie Murphy, but she did not survive (Descenso). When Carlos Lehder became the Cartel's new pilot, The Lion took command of all operations in Miami.

In the fall of 1992, Escobar summoned him to Colombia to plan on improving his operations. However, Lion was picked up at the airport by the Cali cartel, and he was taken to meet the cartel leaders, who convinced him to betray Escobar and join their organization. Months later, Lion introduced Hélmer Herrera to all of Escobar's contacts in Miami. After Herrera learned and acquired everything, he had his *sicario* Navegante murder Lion.

Velasco

**Velasco** was the *sicario* lieutenant of the Medellín cartel, succeeding Roberto Ramos after the latter's death in 1991.

Velasco was one of Escobar's most loyal and trusted *sicarios*. Velasco held a disliking towards Pablo's other lieutenants, Gerardo Moncada and Fernando Galeano; and convinced Pablo that they were stealing from him, leading Pablo to murder them inside the La Catedral prison. He survived the La Catedral siege, and became a high ranking member.

He was captured by the Los Pepes in October of 1992, and was tortured by Don Berna, Escobar's former head-of-security. Velasco failed to resist torture, and gave away the name of three of Escobar's accountants, and the fact that Lion was returning from Miami to meet Escobar. He was later killed, and his body was hung in the public.
President-elect

**Carlos Salinas de Gortari**, referred in the credits as **The President-elect** was the President of Mexico from 1988 to 1994.

A member of the influential PRI party, he was chosen as the presidential candidate for the 1988 elections due to his technocratic background. With the Guadalajara Cartel helping in vote rigging, he defeated Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas and was elected President.

Despite this, in order to get a favorable rating from the United States to establish a trade deal that would benefit the Mexican businessmen who were his political donors, he authorized the arrest of Guadalajara cartel leader Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo in April 1989. As President, he was heavily influenced by his brother Raul and prominent businessman Carlos Hank González.
Sylmar warehouse bust

In 1989, the LAPD and the DEA raided a warehouse located in Sylmar, California after receiving a tip off from a local resident and confiscated over 20 tons of cocaine with a street value of over $7 billion, and also found over $12 million U.S. dollars in cash, surpassing the Tranquilandia Raid as the largest seizure of cocaine in history.

The cocaine belonged to the Cali Cartel, and was delivered to them a few days before by smugglers employed by Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo. However, Félix Gallardo orchestrated the raid in order to weaken the Cali Cartel and force them to renegotiate the cost of the Guadalajara Cartel's smuggling services.

## Historical inaccuracy

In real life, the raid happened five months after Félix Gallardo's arrest.

## Gallery

Paco walks out of the convenience store and sees that the LAPD, S.W.A.T. and DEA arrive in full force to raid the warehouse where the cocaine is being stored after they received a tip off.
Ricardo Prisco

**Ricardo Prisco** (died April 1993) was a Colombian doctor and the leader of the Los Priscos criminal organization.

Despite being a respected member of the medical community, Prisco secretly led a criminal organization allied with the Medellín cartel. It was not uncommon for Prisco and his brothers to torture rival cartel members using medical equipment from his hospital. Prisco remained allied to Pablo Escobar after his escape from prison in 1992, and led his gang in a raid which killed Jaime Mendoza, one of Escobar's former associates who defected following Escobar's escape.

Prisco's brothers suffered from high lethargy due to their cocaine addiction. As a result, his brother Edgar disregarded Prisco's orders using satellite phones and used telephones to contact him, resulting in the Search Bloc to raid their compound and kill all of Prisco's brothers. Prisco escaped, and continued to work for Escobar.

In December 1992, Prisco survived an assassination attempt by Los Pepes, and used his medical credentials to sneak into a hospital where an injured Los Pepes soldier was held, and tortured him for information; finding out that the Los Pepes is led by Carlos Castaño Gil, and financed by the Cali cartel.

In April 1993, Escobar decided to spend all of his remaining cash to form an army to raid Judy Moncada's mansion to destroy the Los Pepes. He sent Ricardo and his *sicario* La Quica to gather money from cartel accountant Rojas. However, La Quica decided to betray Escobar, and killed Prisco and Rojas, and fled with the money.
