ВЗЛЕТ И ПАДЕНИЕ кокаиновых ковбоев Майами - Los Muchachos

Telegram channel - https://t.me/historyofkriminal Mid-1980s. Two Cubans, Augusto Guillermo Falcon and Sal Magluta, often appear on ESPN. They are successful speedboat racers and are often interviewed for sports news. They also own a profitable shipbuilding company and are quite wealthy. Then one day, a Los Angeles police officer turns on ESPN over dinner and sees Sal Magluta, whose face is very familiar. He starts wondering where he might have seen him and clearly remembers arresting Magluta for drug trafficking. And the detective was right. Magluta and Falcon really did live two lives. Under their own names, they were successful businessmen and race car drivers, using their false identities to stage arrests, establish offshore companies, and conduct large-scale cocaine smuggling operations. These guys and their friends created what would become arguably the most successful Cuban drug cartel of the 20th century, known as "Los Muchachos." They worked with the Colombian cartels of Cali and Medellin, the Mexican Guadalajara cartel, the brother of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, and even the CIA. They smuggled tons of cocaine a month and distributed it in several US cities. And most importantly, they did all this under false names, remaining completely clean. But everything was ruined by one police officer who was all too good at remembering faces and names. Meet Los Muchachos, on the other side of the law.
