Yo Soy El Hijo Del Cartel De Cali William Rodríguez Spanish edition

I Am the Son of the Cali Cartel is the testimony of William Rodríguez Abadía, son and nephew, respectively, of Miguel and Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela, founders of one of the most feared Colombian crime rings throughout the 90s. For the first time, and with a confidential tone, the heir of one of the largest criminal empires in the Americas tells about life inside the Rodríguez Orejuela family, the bloody fight against Pablo Escobar, and the amount of resources spent in the effort to block the extradition orders against him. After four years of living in hiding and his subsequent imprisonment, the author puts at risk his safety and that of his family to reveal the hidden details and the inner workings of the cartel, the buying of loyalties, and the infiltration of the crime ring into the highest levels of the political, economic, and social life of Colombia. The reader will get to know a family dominated by a pact of silence between father and uncle, and will find answers to many questions, from the link between drug trafficking and soccer, to political favors and the Process 8000 . In I Am the Son of the Cali Cartel, William Rodríguez Abadía offers us a unique and shocking testimony of one of the most dreadful periods in Colombia s history.
