bring up young colombian concaved hollow escobar is gone but now there are more cartels processing cocaine in the. numbers or from the gulf cartel is a serious threat to the country it's our duty to fight against just organization border. on. how many killers in 400 years. is that it's we're talking about more than $70000000.00 it's going to. colombia off to the full of drugs going to pablo escobar the country managed to drastically reduce its cocaine production dave thanks to the media attention about drunk trafficking in mexico. on tuesday colombia is once a. again number one. in fact it produces even mall cocaine than it did in

ask obama's time. there are more than 2 tons of cocaine right there. that's a lot of drugs but let me tell you something that is a drop in the ocean because last year colombia it's an all time record came to production of the truck almost 1000 tells the colombian police and the military were able to seize around $200.00 or so and that's what's and military record a swap. to see here. what we are about to get into its war on drugs but with an intensity the world has never seen pieces.

together with the colombian police we traveled to the bomb region this is the home of the comes to khan town which is responsible for the most drug trafficking in colombia from this impenetrable jungle the countdown controls drug trafficking just as pablo escobar once did from the streets of maintaining. a dome so here in the hands of the traffickers territory of the headquarters of operation command not lance the name of the police operation who single grown is destroying the guns can tell. by their comrades itself the phase that's beginning to see a strong and very present. of our forces in the region

a race here or there you know you don't major general foggers leads on it that's been fighting the gulf con town for 3 years i know but on my ground if this is our biggest operation against a criminal organization they're going to have it's bigger than the one for the cali cartel bigger than the hunt for pablo escobar question and there's one simple reason for that one the gulf cartel is a serious threat to the country but advice. on the general manager of august commandos from the who and cop as units side by side with the aim of capturing the con towns ringleaders. it is every time you feel tired after a hard day of service look at that photo board countless hours have gone into it. the only photographs reminds the commandos of the goals they have achieved but also

of the cantelli leaders who still need to be brought to justice among the latter is the biggest target of home colombia's most wanted man. died o. antonio. also known as or tony as the leader of the contacts. in the hunt for autonomy and his underlings operation has already taken down 86 of the continent's leading figures. now in the middle of the night the commandos are preparing for a new offensive it will also mock the beginning of a new strategy. for starting a new phase in the fight against the gulf cartel the police the army the navy the air force and of course the. i mean district attorney's office will all be fully

integrated into a. colombian security forces are uniting in the fight against the con town and they're not just talking the ring leaders in the members. under your voice we're not going to see you as an organization the gulf cartel is involved in everything from coca farming to cocaine production to trafficking. all from the gulf. in the cold for it's our constitutional duty to use all available means to fight this organization not be you know child under a state to go to the body to look at a lesion later to get a little of. today's dollars to locate cocaine labs and neutralize some of the continent's most

important members the chemists. and. the commandos trying to locate cocoa plantations amid the dense jungle. of. the.

the thing. is what they're looking for in the 1st place coca leaves because work wherever you can find coca leaves nearby there should be a laboratory at the end of the day you need 200 killers of this to. transform them into one kilo of cocaine based. on the commander's surge from in the jungle. the drug traffickers use them to transport the coca leaves to the labs. if. the security forces have to move quickly but also cautiously. the helicopters will have given away their presence that means one of 2 things either the drug

traffickers will flee while they might open file on the commanders. claim. our. local it. seems like. the dust up here to go to hell.

common. there right away. this time the country can coax have escaped. the commandos wasted no time in searching the area for suspects contant got found.

a helicopter crew sponsor house in the jungle nearby the commandos split into 2 groups the group a new one approached the house and group b. was set up a surveillance perimeter. player . played. her. a good most of the day. you know. all this are.

far from undergoing a form of arguing that. they were. 'd the one that. said what if i don't. care what. group am facts the house group b. has found a suspect. in the where's the gun why don't have one of the i swear on my daughter's life where's the rest of the group i'm on my own. to get up the machete he doesn't like throw it down and leave it. really good i'm a farmer sit down. girl i just arrived i arrived yesterday with my family doing it don't give me that crap what's this is the letters from your mom i want a mild case of the stuff you know so you. don't mess with.

a radio and a list of codes gave the songs back to wang as one of the gulf cartel has gone so far what do you do with those communication codes they force me to do or say you're going to the commandos trying to get some information that could lead them into he's been since you know who forced you to work and i don't know that man's name only how did you get that radio in those communication codes if. you're not. going to listen we'll go and we'll get him. if. the contact god who refuses to be trying his boss who's the commandos phones him to contact them. if. they want it if you talk to them normally let's see what they say. i

mean you know what is so food what. it is like a lawyer. or a government office going to hook up a. good idea go bust get out of office and of course it will just go to do it over that dog who broke off the roof or off. so i didn't go into the ocean floor it. was on the earth on the end of the earth. but the radio cones go on answered the contact and members have probably been informed but they go between has been captured on my teeth i can't off the connection to prevent him sounds being triste 5 police. operation results in the destruction of 2 labs and the arrest of

a guy. on the. new. means. he's just a small cog in the contacts machine but it's still a significant wind because the officers have seized the contents radio times.

back at the headquarters fitz time for the intelligence officials to get him to walk. was. a. bad. agent's listening to contact the radio communications thanks to the table of contents seized from the counter. interception brings results intelligence officials get information about one of the local contacts leaders the next step is to interrogate the man they detained.

him how long were you in the organization what was your job. by was there for 9 months on what is a as a patrolman. behaved i guarded the bosses. i looked after the security of the organizational ways of. informants like this on find telephone when it comes to tracking down the enemy that's constantly on the move oh god did you sleep in houses or cancer. we camped in the mountain city which to me elmo boy we're told we were always on the move all that then yeah. we never stayed in the same place for long it started as. the interrogation of the informant is carried out in strict secrecy only a small group of officials know his identity. they

don't want to freak out we need to identify a landmark something to help us find their carry a compliment but i'm sure each their camp so yes there's one here. ok what kind of weapons do they have. what they take a 47 assault weapon to see if they. lead to the commandos get ready to implement that plan their goal is to capture one of the local content leaders. at least the to. hop the helicopter and 2 blackhawks head to the coordinates supplied by the intelligence department.

from the ask the team begins the process of pinpointing the remaining time and his accomplices. the commanders are observing enemy movements and tell us to stay away from the windows.

the. open files on com tell man hiding in the jungle. that the commandos must find the drug traffickers before they have time to a skank if. you're going to. get rid of you know. if. that if

. that. if. they go back up. and. read. the commandos sudden response some suspects on about putting. up. what they. like to cut it up a little bit. that. i. don't

blame going to lose. but none of the man known about all the ringleader the commandos decided to let them go who knew. him from the special forces split into groups to continue the chants i know the ringleader must be close by in. the following darkness will help the cantelli members as thanks trying to escape but the commandos on for patton let him get away.

at daybreak we hear news from the other side of the river. if. it wants to happen to. them we attacked them. so no one of them was neutralized at all in the. he was wounded when we arrived there he was treated by one of our paramedics in that he died of my goodness of the you. by use of it on us who is that we're one of the people we were after this as well on the account count on a leader yes. the commandos say it was machine gun fire from the helicopters that took out a countdown leader. this

. they're bringing him here as. plain. as. except. as. a player yes you can drug trafficking has taken on a life of a man who until hours ago was part of

a comic con town leadership is now the latest victim of the war on drugs. is plenty. felix valencia alias cobra 5 joins funniest of cantelli do's who have been killed. in spain in stockholm one after the hour but he's dead peaches. a following the

police and military are attacking the cartels truck last and yet the statistics clearly show that year after year colombia continues to set new cocaine production records. we travel internet and the city where it all began this is the place pablo escobar transformed into the global capital of drug trafficking we're going to look at the other side of the war on drugs the world of the traffickers we want to find out how it's possible that so much cocaine can be produced despite the government's efforts . from our journey leads us to one of the criminal groups currently controlling drug trafficking in their day here.

far from the opulence of alma times drug traffickers now run their business from the poorest areas of the city. of. it in one of these neighborhoods that we meet with one of my most experienced drug traffickers. you. started my criminal career in 1902. i worked in labs and took shipments by boat and plane to mexico. this is the light my job i'll do it until i die of. qatar and i worked closely with pablo escobar himself no one knows better than he found drug trafficking has developed in colombo. over the

last few decades. what happened off the top now as cars following king who was he success on or for global was born pablo escobar fell the cartel here was led by a group called lot of siena you know but it's winding down now because these days there's really only small time dealing being done here to. see any trafficking isn't as big here at any moment where in colombia has it moved to get. over if you want to work you have to go into the jungle gone are the days when you could have your drug lab in the city which it's much harder because it's monitored much more strict lasered so everyone goes into the jungle room and there was or were like the call of contacts through yes but they've been relentlessly attacked or yours now there are more and more small cartels and people are learning the trade was the one before everyone has a small lab and they get 10200 or maybe a 1000 kilos out of it depending on where they are you know that's why there's more production it's a whole lot of small amounts

a little bit because there are more people producing the goods the problem so the gulf com town doesn't control the drug trafficking anymore. well there are lots of groups now and each has its own aereo will no one oversteps the boundary into another group's area were. some of the group sponsors be called powerful but there are many more of that it was almost all right to want to look at everyone and the cocaine trade is growing in processing and then we transported to mexico border with the mexicans pay and we process it and transported there. the escobar used to control the drug trafficking route or one or 2 but now the mexican stole it while they were moving. so the mexican is not the ones who do the ordering from them and i mean that's one of my current so yes and in large quantities they export it to the us because those who knew. the cocaine business hasn't. while the government cracks down on the gulf cartel

hundreds of new gangs have taken its place and it's all now driven by mexican gangs who are the ones buying colombian cocaine. we want to follow the trail of colombian cocaine as it makes its way north just like production transportation has fragmented it's done in several stages traffickers trying to evade the old orange is my 1st transporting into neighboring countries from that the cocaine reaches mexican cartels the new overlords of the trade one of them is among the biggest in the well listen a lower cartel. through our contacts we meet with felipe or a cartel member in charge of supervising the arrival of

a cocaine shipment. wear away heading. to the coast. on the wall to where the merchandise will be delivered. what kind of merchandise. cokehead how much. 400 or 400 kilos. it comes from colombia it travels across central america little by little we receive it here and settle our prepare it up and send it to the us. that's play with numbers a little bit just to understand word of the hour what we're about to witness. 400 killers all came here is you know up. worth around.

$8000000.00 bats if they reach the states and they are sold in the street it's talking about more than $70000000.00. here i am now. a spare. we wait for the boat with the merchandise.

the traffic has confirmed the time and place of the delivery it will all be. there for a. little bit. about is on its way to contact the man prepared the vehicle so they can load the 400 kilos of cocaine. is that. everything has to be unloaded and reloaded as quickly as possible. besides it creates a mess is on expected. to get. the $400.00 kilos of cocaine arrive in a boat so small it seems more likely to be used by a fisherman than by a drug traffickers.

once the unloading is complete the match and dice is checked. the traffic is fine the seal diverts printing the model of a trustworthy tanami producer. the deliver the. cargo. the long train is complete in less than 4 minutes.

away just a span out. or goes to a safe house. if it stays there for a while and they are parents to be dispatched to video ascertain exactly. cocaine is dangerous to hold on to for long the longer a con talent keeps it in one place the higher the risk of being discovered by all scientists or attacked by a rival gang in. your church or. merchandise worth an estimated $70000000.00 is a power. that's why you say houses are so important.

that. we arrive at a small building in the middle of nowhere the hiding place for the campaign. what happens next what you do with it. we're back it again why.

sometimes it travels by sea so that way it's better protected. from i want to know that my prius. with every step the value of the cocaine can stop so the traffic is combi to cam. so this is ready to go to the us yes. the colombian cocaine is now safely packed and ready for the last stage of its journey. from sin alone to the united states. days later. as the preparations are complete. 100 of the 400 kilos of cocaine in a safe house are about. to be dispatched by seen. along

the way we come across a vehicle by the side of the road. or the side of the from the front of the. op do we get in we discover that this town is also carrying the drunks.

out of it all don't touch anything so there won't be any traces i haven't touched anything. do you mean because of thing that i just said i. guess. the plan is to unload the kind of campaign into a budge that will take it to the us border but the heavy rain is complicating matters. we can't get down there because of the water so we're going to go somewhere else there's been too much rain and of the goodwill of. the traffickers must improvise a solution the cane has to be dispatched without delay. but there was nobody does we have a big boat and it can't pull up here. so we're bringing us. dollar boat.

so you know load it onto the smaller boats and then take it out to the bigger one yes it's 2 kilometers away but it's not possible to bring it in here with. the new plan forces the traffickers to leave an area listen to them control. what's the situation in this area is that really so military that it. yes the army but we have to find a solution. to both would happen if the army came by which we did in about a. week rather.

we arrived at the meeting spot. and everything goes like clockwork. the smaller biotech is just arrived and the traffickers begin loading the campaign . but it will move. a. little. bit.

the worth of. the operation is complete another $100.00 kilos of colombian cocaine are on their way to the u.s. . it's a sign of how the trafficking business has adapted in order to survive. album at a town has been replaced by the gulf cartel and hundreds of smaller successes and to meet an incessant demand. can count hours or played a crucial role in this transformation colombia still produces cocaine and the us still consumes it but increasing in mexico is facilitating the delivery. it's a new order but one that follows the arms simple laws of supply and demand and it

continues to exact the same human cost the lives of traffickers drug users and those who fight against the illegal drug trade. what's going on here. house of your very own from a printer. computer games that are healing. my dog needs electricity. shaved explains delivers facts and shows what the future holds. yet living in the digital world shift. in 15 minutes on d w. you're in good shape people who don't play he has nothing to laugh
