In the 1980s, the Medellin Cartel was clearly at the top of the criminal underworld. They controlled approximately around 80% of the global cocaine trade. I believe that the Sicilians controlled the heroin trade at the same time. And I have been told on here that they used to trade cocaine for heroin during that time and Escobar was actually heavily influenced by Toto Riina(which amazes me because the guy ran his organization into the ground with his blood thirsty ways). How much of the heroin trade did the Sicilians control? Were like the Medellin cartel equivalent except for heroin at that time, and what was more profitable? I’m going to guess cocaine as the cartel was making more cash.
