主持人:1995年,华雷斯卡特尔在阿马多·卡里略·富恩特斯的领导下崛起。阿马多是瓜达拉哈拉卡特尔联合创始人的侄子,他利用与墨西哥政府和军方高层的关系,以及与哥伦比亚卡利卡特尔的联系,迅速成为墨西哥最有权势的毒品贩子。他通过贿赂官员、改变外貌等手段,成功地躲避了美国执法部门的追捕,并建立起庞大的毒品帝国。我从小就接受了这份工作的训练,师从墨西哥有史以来最强大、最聪明的走私犯。1995年,成为华雷斯卡特尔的领导人是个好时机,我每周带来估计 2 亿美元的收入。 Danny Gold:瓜达拉哈拉卡特尔是当时唯一的主要力量,所有大型卡特尔都将从中产生。他们是第一个真正形成卡特尔一部分的人,他们是一个庞大的企业集团,所有有权势的人都是其中的一部分,之后出现的每一个有权势的卡特尔,都是从瓜达拉哈拉卡特尔分裂出来的。 Sean Williams:新西兰的路太吵了,没法打电话。如果我是一个臭名昭著的毒枭,我会一直害怕对错误的人说错话,或者在光天化日之下被谋杀。

Amado Carrillo Fuentes was one of the most powerful drug traffickers of the 1990s, moving hundreds of tons of cocaine and amassing billions while forging deep ties with Colombian cartels and corrupt Mexican officials. At the height of his power, he controlled the Juárez Cartel and operated a fleet of private jets, outpacing rivals and law enforcement alike.

His influence stretched from Mexico to South America and the U.S., making him a near-mythic figure in the drug world—until his sudden death during a secret plastic surgery left more questions than answers.
