Back in 80s Cali cartel was big in NY cocain market,Although I know mob wasnt heavily involved in those thing, was there any contact between Cali and NY families?
Single mobster for sure have bought some kilos but the Calì Cartel a secret cell The 400 led by Jorge Alberto Rodriguez Herrera.
Rodriguez entered the smuggling business in 1983 under the tutelage of his father, Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela, eventually creating a cell known as The 400, which employed 400 extremely skilled, educated and dangerous criminals from around the world, including numerous top-level government officials. He soon seized control of the United States cocaine market after assassinating his rival, Juan Carlos Melendez. Rodriguez was allegedly one of the most ruthless drug lords and was a suspect in various murders. He was also linked by Colombian police to the 1989 massacre of twelve members of a family outside of Barranquilla, Colombia. The family was related to a drug dealer that had an unpaid debt to the Cali Cartel. He was also known for laundering over US$40 million via Colombia to finance a fleet of planes in the United States.
