An electrifying account of the Cali Cartel beyond its portrayal on
Netflix.
From the ashes of Pablo Escobar's empire rose an even bigger and more
malevolent cartel. A new breed of sophisticated mobsters became the
kings of cocaine. Their leader was Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela - known
as the Chess Player due to his foresight and calculated cunning.
Gilberto and his terrifying brother, Miguel, ran a multi-billion-dollar
drug empire like a corporation. They employed a politically astute brand
of thuggery and spent $10 million to put a president in power. Although
the godfathers from Cali preferred bribery over violence, their many
loyal torturers and hit men were never idle.
Shaun Attwood's WAR ON DRUGS SERIES - PABLO ESCOBAR, AMERICAN
MADE, WE ARE BEING LIED TO and THE CALI CARTEL - are harrowing,
action-packed and interlinked true stories that demonstrate the
devastating consequences of drug prohibition.
