Rafael Caro Quintero: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

Together with Felix and Fonseca, Caro Quintero decided to bring every marijuana-growing operation in Mexico under one organization, in a manner similar to OPEC. It was called a cartel because they would work together to fix prices of marijuana. Later, they expanded to purchase cocaine from [[Pablo Escobar]].

They ran into many obstacles, including the fallout from Caro Quintero's staged kidnapping of his girlfriend Sara Cosio. Her father was a high-ranking [[Institutional Revolutionary Party|PRI]]member and government secretary, so Caro Quintero's actions put him and his cartel at risk of investigation(normally, such a thing would not be an issue, since they had most law enforcement in Mexico bought off)
