The Medellin Cartel

As I mentioned earlier about the drug empire the lord had started, which was named as Medellin Cartel, name after the Columbian city Medellin. The cartel got their pride only after the murder of a well known drug dealer in 1975 by Pablo. This act plummeted their reputation to new heights and people started fearing the Cartel. Slowly but steadily people like George Jung, José Gonzalo Rodríguez Gacha, Carlos Lehder amidst others joined the Cartel, although with a bit of fear during the initial stages of their association for the fear of Pablo. He was a tyrant whom even his close associates would'nt want to meddle with.

But this one man called Carlos Lehder was initially the associate of George Jung and introduced him into the business. He later on went to become a serious crime boss, almost overtaking Pablo himself with his cunning mind and knack for stealing from Medellin friends and backstabbing them. He was the vital part of the group, although Escobar continued to skim forward his prowess and was elected as deputy/alternate representative to the Chamber of Congress.

Escobar's drug deals gained even more popularity with George Jung who introduced the wide American market which crave for coke, marijuana and other drugs during the 1980s. El Cartel de Medellín, the local name for the Cartel had the hand for almost 80% of the drugs that had entered the United States, Mexico, apart from other nearby nations from the Columbian fields. He apart from being just a ruthless killer, became an expert in testing the purity of the goods which made him sustain soooo long in the field. Escobar's product reached many other nations, mostly around the Americas, although it is said that his network reached as far as Asia.
