In Cocaine Cowboys Jon Roberts born John Riccobono,say that it's enought that he pay the stuff,and the Colombian provide to supply,no mafioso have tryed to do this ?
Maybe some of the more knowledgeable members can answer you that question.
The only source i found about the cooperation between the Trafficante and Colombians,is Howard Marks,a marijuana smuggler.
"In the late 1970s the Trafficante crime family, under the leadership of Santo Trafficante, Jr., were importing Colombian cannabis into the US on freighter ships, thus driving down the price of the drug on the streets in America.In December 1979, Trafficante exported no less than 50 tons of cannabis direct from Colombia to Marks and his contacts in the UK, enough to supply the entire British market for the drug for almost a whole year.In 1980, Marks was arrested by Customs Officers for his part in importing £15 million of cannabis; police had followed associates of the Trafficante family to a large stash of cannabis.Upon his arrest he was in possession of numerous pieces of incriminating evidence, as well as £30,000 in cash."
