music, Sex and drugs – also the last day in the freedom of “Crazy Charly” is progressing according to script. Carlos Lehder Rivas has fun in 1987, during a Celebration of the Medellin cartel in Colombia with a prostitute and can be sniffed cheerful, cocaine, as one of the assassins of Pablo Escobar, it dares to knock at the door.
Lehder torched not last long and shoots the man who is also a lover of the woman on the pile. Noise, screams, a body is in the midst of a huge Fiesta with a loud Salsa-music – the Netflix series “Narcos” a harmless joke against the Colombian reality.
Lehder asks Escobar to excuse me, the corpse is disposed of, the Celebration continues – of course. However, during the German believes Colombians, that the eternal Party goes on forever, falls drug Lord Escobar his judgment.
after all, nothing is more dangerous than a crazed Dealer, threatens with his antics the whole company. The day after the Orgy, he shipped Lehder to a secret location and promises him that he was safe there and turns him in to the Americans.
Pablo Escobar lets his right Hand fall
Escobar has denied in a public letter, vehemently, that he should have been involved in the delivery of its business partners. But Carlos Lehders shares with his Boss had fallen in the course of time rapidly. Rather surprising that Escobar “Crazy Charly” is not easy to go unnoticed – how many left other – around the corner.
The fate for most of the “Narcotraficantes” – the drug dealers – only two possibilities: dead like Escobar, shot dead by an elite unit of Colombia and the United States in 1993, during a RAID in Medellin. Or just a jail in the United States, such as Lehder. The process in 1988 was the largest trial against a foreign drug smuggler in the history of the United States picture-alliance/image archive police officers and journalists surrounding the body of drug kingpin Pablo Escobar – shot by an elite unit of Colombia and the United States in 1993
The court convicted Lehder to life in prison without parole and a further 134 years in prison because he should have flooded the streets of the USA with 2000 kilograms of cocaine. From the words of the public Prosecutor sincere admiration by sounds at the same time: The smuggling system Lehders is comparable to Henry Ford’s mechanized automotive manufacturing.
revolutionary of the cocaine trade
Lehder revolutionized the drug smuggling at the end of the 1970s. He buys an island in the Bahamas called Norman’s Cay, 340 kilometres off the coast of Florida. He lubricates the authorities and sent to the island bags of white snow with small aircraft to the US.
In low altitude, undetected by the captors from the United States. Gone are the risky and low-yielding stone age methods with drug couriers, the so-called “mules” on commercial flights carrying the cocaine on the body or swallow.
Instead, the Transport of unfathomable amounts of cocaine, four out of five cocaine bags in the USA at the time of Lehders fleet. “Crazy Charly”, with takes a billion and everything else: The island is a Hotspot for extravagant sex parties with unbridled drug use.
follow rich testimony against Noriega
But in the mid-1980s in the USA, the transport route to the bottom of this and make the Party to an end. And Lehders star in Escobar begins rapidly to decline. Be process in the United States, the initial impetus for a new policy, Colombia is: With Lehder the South American country has delivered for the first Time a drug smuggler to the United States. Hundreds will follow after that. Three years later, Crazy Charly is a Deal with the US authorities.
And according to Lehder so: You sing against the former Panamanian ruler, and drug kingpin Manuel Noriega, for that, we reduce your sentence to 30 years. Part 2 of the agreement: In no case you’re going to burn longer in prison than Noriega. Lehder agrees. His punishment, however, is reduced to only 55 years, while the former President of Panama in 2010, will be transferred to France and the last weeks before his death of cancer in 2017, in house arrest in Panama, spent.

The John Lennon idolized and in his hometown, a Statue of the Beatle construction – cast in Bronze, Nude, and with the Nazi helmet. The just as Adolf Hitler admired, and against the Jews to images, like his father William, an engineer, was drawn before the Second world war to Colombia.
The Coca-Cola loves, the “only Good at impera LISM”. The constantly smokes marijuana, to pull the fabric “for the people”, while the cocaine that he sells, serves mainly to “the Rich, the money from the bag and the decadent US destroy society”. And there are always the Best, that “terrorism is the atomic bomb of the poor people”.
