Synopsis

INSIDE THE MEDELLIN CARTEL

SAVE THE PILOTS

Carlos Stier was the logistics manager for the Medellin Cartel in South Florida, handling transshipments through the Bahamas. His confession is one of high-level corruption and murder. Along the way corrupt narco-lawyers and government officials appear until Stier broke with the organization to work with the DEA. Stier targeted his old connections, not knowing that one of them was a Cuban spy.

SAVE THE LOAD

This remarkable document was prepared for the spy’s trial in Miami and mentions people like Nigel Bowe, the bag-man who helped the Cartel set up in the Bahamas, Raul Castro, who received a gift from Lehder to permit overflights and Stier’s own trial for drug trafficking and murder before saved from his fate by the DEA.

SAVE YOURSELF

The book includes an extensive introduction examining why some narco-penitents receive long prison sentences while others get off scot-free and why this spy trial was unlike other run of the mill drug cases. With classified information headlining so many cases today, this early trial holds valuable lessons for the future.
