cocaine is merchandise, to be bought or sold, used like any other commodity. >> cocaine is money. and money is the root of many, many evils. >> cocaine is a business. and every dollar that moved told the story. and when we started this case, we had no idea that it would ultimately lead to dismantling one of the most violent, most prolific car tells in colombia. >> i had no idea what you were

getting into. >> we didn't. we were babes in the woods 6789. >> as a former fbi agent and chairman of the house intelligence committee, i had oversight of all 16 of our nation's intelligence agencies. my name is mike rogers. i had access to classified information gathered by our operatives, people who risked everything for the united states and our families. you don't know their faces or their names. you don't know the real stories from the people who live the fear and the pressure until now. publicny number one in the united states is drug abuse. in order to fight and defeat this enemy, it is necessary to wage a new all out offensive. >> in the '70s, heroin is the

big issue. it's why dea becomes an agency to unify the government's efforts against the heroin epidemic. cocaine wasn't an issue. it was rich bankers in new york. the user market is kind of small. cocaine is very expensive. drug traffickers are making money on it. in the '80s when you make it into crack cocaine, it is much cheaper. it is now a $10 rock. it is more addictive in that form. and the user base was massive. when you have that huge massive user base, that made the profitability sky rocket. >> this is crack cocaine seized a few days ago by drug enforcement agents in the park just across the street from the white house. >> that abuse crack cocaine fuels this huge rise in exportuation of cocaine out of

colombia. now they are sending tons and tons of cocaine to make crack. >> all the cocaine coming into the united states fuels violence in the streets of the city, it fuels addiction. it fuels the breakup of families. it's not something that is good for society. >> the crack cocaine epidemic in the united states produces massive profits for the columbian car tells. drug lords were making hundreds of millions, possibly billions of dollars at this point. they'll stop at nothing. >> american authorities say it was the cartel that ordered the murder of nine columbian supreme court justices and the attorney general, the murder of a key federal witness in baton rouge, louisiana and the murders in miami of dozens of rival drug bosses. 1993 killed on the roof top. drugs didn't slow down a bit.

in fact, other car tells stepped right into that void. you have basically about two years where the cartel is the undisputed kings of cocaine. 1995, this is when the cartel decides we're taking over. continues to plague the united states with cocaine. >> cocaine is a cash business and the car tells needed to get the cash back to colombia. i was an irs criminal investigation division special agent in new york city. i was doing tax cases. i wanted more action. i want to knock down doors. and in 1994, my boss sent me to the el dorado task force. >> i was a customs agent and a member of the task force. it was composed of the new york city police department, state troopers, irs, customs. the el dorado task force was put

together in the mid 1990s to investigate financial crimes and money laundering. >> around 1996 a confidential source told me this one money in queens was receiving bags and bags of cash and was sending it back to colombia. >> western union, money gram, an easy way to send money overseas. >> i took that information and i had one of the task force analysts run the figures. i believe at that time it was like 16 million in one year. it's odd. as part of my investigation, i went to teleaustin. i asked the super across the street if you have empty space. he says no. you go on the roof. so i drag my partner. we went up the roof and stayed

out there for a week from when they open until they close and see how many people go into the business. i expect 100 people, 200 people like lining up in front of the door like buying liquor before new year's eve or something, but there wasn't. i went back to the el dorado task force. i asked the analysts for a report on teleaustin on such and such date. how many people went in and sent cash and how many gegraphical targeting orders were filed. >> do i really have to go through this? this is brutally boring. >> what is a geographical targeting order? >> prior if you wanted to send more than $3,000 through money remittor you needed to show i.d. when we realized the money we had it lowered to $750 to send

any money to colombia. >> why colombia? >> 90% of the transactions that were going through these remittors was going back to colombia. so that underlined the drug connection to us. >> so when i got the report from the week that i was watching teleaustin, it reflected that hundreds of people went into that business and sent cash to colombia which dumbfounded me, because i'm like i was out there and there is no way that hundreds of people went there. because i sat out there on the roof, you know, peeing in a bottle watching that location for a week. i knew i had a big case here. i took my record of how many people went in and out, and i took the analyst reports showing that hundreds of people went in to a prosecutor.

but at that time, the prosecutor didn't think that i had enough. and i was completely remedial. i said thisisbullhit thati took all this and i can't get a search warrant. he says i know a great prosecutor. she's the queen of money laundering. >> the empress i would call her, not just a queen. i'd say the empress. >> my role in the investigation was as the prosecutor, the assistant u.s. attorney in the eastern district of new york. and i was a member of the el dorado task force. danny explained how he had identified a store that was moving an extraordinary amount of money. once i looked at the documents, it was obvious that teleaustin on its surface was a regular money remittor store.

but that was really a front. teleaustin probably did three percent legitimate business, and the other 97% was running drug money through the store, sending it back to what we eventually came to know is tas one of the violent cartels. declassified brought to you by united health care medicare advantage plans. go ahead, take advantage. ntion, till he signed up for unitedhealthcare medicare advantage.

during the early '90s there was the crack epidemic. a dramatic shootout took place in a neighborhood in colombia on tuesday. >> cocaine fuelled violence in colombia and the streets of america. and this is what i signed up to do was go after these guys responsible for sending drugs to the united states. >> you can follow where the dope goes or the money. if you follow the dope you get underling. if you follow the money you get ahead of the group. money is what this is all about. >> one day i was sitting in my office and an agent came in with the statistics for a store called teleaustin. the money remittor store in queens. >> teleaustin was receiving 60 million in one year and sending it back to colombia. when you see a lot of cash going to colombia, a lot of it was

drug money. >> teleaustin started with teleaustin one. it expended to teleaustin two to a third store around the world. there was just so much money running through these stores that one store couldn't handle it. >> i said we need a search warrant for these stores. right from the get go, she was all for it. she wanted to put bad people in jail. >> teleaustin was one of the first gto warrants. the gto put in place a $750 reporting requirement. in the case of teleaustin stores, their records showed multiple remittances just under $750. what is the likelihood that $8 million is sent through one store in the matter of days always in $740 incremented? >> we did three raids of the

three stores. we did them simultaneously that morning. we went in, secured the premises. there were i think two female employees. >> it was such a small place. like i didn't see cash like piled up in the corner. but we found a phone book, spanish language phone book. we saw so many names highlighted. it was weird. you know it right away. they're using these names to send money to colombia. >> someone would come in with a bag, a duffel bag of half a million dollars with a list of names randomly pulled from the phone book. >> the phone books were used to make up dummy receipts to cover the transactions. and on the flip side of it in colombia, they would be given usually a fax of names.

and when they got it on that end, they would know that that list of names was all meant for whoever was coming to pick it up. >> this is classic money laundering. it's not peanuts. it's millions of dollars. we have to now find out who it's going to, so we have to keep on digging. >> we began interviewing the women. it was exclusively women that worked at these stores. >> but they wouldn't make any statements or give up any information. >> the women were petrified. as a prosecutor, i have seen people concerned about deportation. i have seen people concerned about being charged with a crime. but the level of terror that i witnessed in these women was something i hadn't seen before. and it took all of our interviewing skills to get them

to speak. they would not take well to a typical cop approach of a man coming in screaming and yelling and insulting them and calling them names. and we have a different approach. >> to me, these girls just saw it as a business. they saw it as a way to make money. they were just poor people from colombia who were being offered work. they could see it as a job. i have always kept it in the back of my head it wasn't that they were inherently bad people. it's a moral dilemma. >> treat the witnesses with respect, be mindful of their concerns and you'll get back from them. >> i heard that you bake cookies. people relax. it makes people feel more comfortable. it makes the atmosphere less formal. if it's less formal and people feel comfortable, they talk.

and one of the things they talked about was a man named ignasio lobo. >> mr. lobo which is wolf in spanish, he was the manager on paper of the stores. and we got an arrest warrant for mr. lobo. i remember telling bonnie this guy is not the man. he looked like a lost soul. and he was afraid. and i think that's why for months he didn't speak to us. >> if we thought the women were terrified, lobo was equally terrified. so then we had to determine who or what was behind ignasio lobo. >> we went back to interview one of the exemployees of one of the stores, a girl by the name of isabella. >> was that her real name?

>> was she in danger? >> yes. imminent danger. isabella told us that the real owner was a fellow by the name of juan also known as elloco which means hard one or the crazy one. >> we had to arrest him, but we had no idea who he was. we ran him through various databases, and he really wasn't on anyone's radar. lobo was our key. and eventually lobo opened up to us. and during our conversation, we said the bosses want him. who does he work for? lobo looked at me and said he's the guy in queens for the cartel.

there was the first time i heard the name of the cartel. this was something more than just a money laundering case sgr

this was something really big. >> i didn't know at that time norte valle cartel from anything. i didn't know what kind of a cartel it was, if it even existed or something lobo was making up. once the el dorado task force discovered that there was an entity such as the norte valle cartel. >> we pulled intel reports. >> i had a very good working relationship with dea. >> we had our own independent investigation. so we had already identified who the leadership was, other people we had arrested had basically been informing us of how the organization worked, how the hierarchy was organized. >> some of the people had context and they made them readily available to us. >> anytime we saw mention of the cartel, we reached out to the agent, we reached out to the prosecutor, and we began

interviewing witnesses. >> from the witnesses, we learned that the cartel was a drug cartel that arose in the mid 1990s. they made a lot of money. they shipped tons of cocaine to the united states. and it was a lot of blood shed. >> while the cartel aren't household names here in the united states, they were just as mean and nasty as escobar. in the '80s this civil war happens between the cartels. the death squad to kill all the members of the cartel. you know who the individuals were? the future members of the norte valle cartel. with the demise of the main cartel, this is the moment when it rises up, 1995. they are the premiere cartel

operating. >> and during the '90s and into the early 2000s, our intel analysts estimated that 60 to 70% of the cocaine entering the united states from colombia was sent by the cartel. >> these individuals, they're the ones at the end of the day who are responsible for fuelling this crack epidemic, for fuelling people in the united states abusing drugs. they are at the pinnacle of ordering murders, organized crime, millions of people abusing narcotics. these are the top individuals responsible for all of this. they have to be taken down. >> it never dawned on us that the search warrants at teleaustin would lead to one of colombia's most violent car tells. once we identified it, we wanted to figure out who was behind the

cartel and bring them to justice. now our focus was not just on taking down individuals. we knew shutting down one money remittor, two more would open the next day. so we focussed on the organization itself. but we couldn't go after the cartel until we had the link between them and the stores. one of the links -- but we still had no idea who he was. we queried all the federal databases and found nothing on him. but we queried the local nypd database, and there was monsave. we reached out to the nypd officers who worked with the red room squad. that squad was tasked with solving violent murders in the queens area. and through our work with red

rum we identified witness who was the head of a squad of assassins that monsave used to murder people in queens. the assassin was in custody in federal jail. and he was cooperating to get a sentence reduction. we interviewed him, and he told us he had several people gunned down because he was concerned that they were stealing his money, or they were not moving his drugs properly. he would have hitman walk into a bar and pull out a gun and shoot people. and the assassin said there was one woman who had worked at teleaustin. and he suspected that she was what colombiaens call a snitch. he had an associate of his offer her a ride on a motorcycle. and he sent a truck and a car to run down the motorcycle and then

ran over her several times to make sure she was good and dead. >> he was a bad boy. he had killed two people or ordered the death of two people here in new york. and he was the cartel's representative in queens for receiving shipments of cocaine and laundering the money back to colombia. and he lived here in the united states. so we issued an arrest warrant for monsalve for murder, money laundering and drug trafficking. >> but at that time monsalve had left the country and had gone into hiding. >> he was sort of like a phantas mu like a ghost. we had no belief that he would ever be coming back, because we had heard that he had moved back to colombia, period. but two years later in february of 2000, we received a tip from an informant who was living in

the same building as rebecca. and rebecca was his girlfriend and she had a child with him. the informant heard that monsalve was intending to come back into the united states through mexico. >> the building was in flushing, 100-family building that monsalve had used over the years as a stash house. a few days later, i received a call from this informant. she said monsalve was back not only in the united states, but he was back at the building. we commenced surveillance of the building 24 hours a day, waiting for him to come out, but he never did. finally, one moring, rebecca

left with the child. and i dispatched an agent to follow her. so i decide i was going to try to get into the building and see if i can hear any noise. and if we did, let's just knock the door down and go get him. so i went into the lobby. somebody walks out past me. i turn around, and i said son of a bitch, i think that's monsalve. i'm your cat. ever since you brought me home, that day.

i've been plotting to destroy you. sizing you up... calculating your every move. you think this is love? this is a billion years of tiger dna just ready to pounce. and if you have the wrong home insurance coverage, you could be coughing up the cash for this. so get allstate and be better protected from mayhem, like me-ow.

monsalve is back at the building, and we have to arrest him. so i went into the lobby. somebody walks out past me. i turn around and i said son of a bitch, i think that's monsalve. >> and i go running up into the street, and i don't see him. so i go running to my car, because i want to go on the radio and tell the team that he's out, find him, look for him. i screwed up and i missed him already. and as i get to the car, i see a state trooper from the team out on the street with his gun drawn. he saw him, in fact. and what monsalve had done is gotten into a car with another person who was waiting for him. they started to pull out of the

parking spot. that's where the team stopped the car and we arrested him. >> monsalve was the first individual we arrested who had a direct connection to the cartel. and once we started, we weren't going to stop until we got to the head. >> if you want to capture and indict a top cartel leader, you don't follow the dope. they distance themselves from that. you go after the money. >> our end game was not arrest juan and seize 50 kilos. our end game was to dismantle an entire cartel by following a money trail from a street level money laundering investigation. what was unique about teleaustin was that the stores were owned by the cartel itself. there had been banks in miami that had been co-opted by

traffickers but the cartel didn't need to rely on others. it could handle the money itself. so monsalve was a crucial piece of the puzzle, because he was the brains behind the stores and he could speak directly about the norte valle cartel. >> however, monsalve did not cooperate. monsalve just told us to pounce. he didn't want to talk, and he sat in jail. >> with monsalve not speaking to us, we needed to look for other links to the cartel. one of those links was monsalve's right-hand man called hector. hector had managed monsalve's drug operation in the united states. >> and we knew that monsalve had dispatched him back to colombia to assist in laundering the money back there and had day to

day dealings with the cartel. and we had secured an arrest warrant for hector. later in 2001, a very, very half assed informant who was wrong the majority of the time told us hector's sister-in-law would be having a christening. >> and hector was going to come back to the united states for it traveling under fake mexican papers. >> it was august 6 of 2001. we sat out there, and the informant called us in the afternoon after the christening and said hector was there at the party. and we arrested him. >> hector made a decision to cooperate. and i would say of the entire investigation, his courage, his decision was really what broke

everything open. >> hector could paint a picture of the hierarchy of the cartel for us. he knew not just the leadership but the lieutenants and the powers that be. in colombia, he realized how important he could be to be able to get arrest warrants for these people. the cartel leaders, they don't come to the united states. they don't come to new york to hang out. >> back in 1997, the colombiaen government signed an extradition treaty with the united states government. so that meant we were able to arrest in collaboration with the government individuals in colombia and send these individuals back to the united states for trial here. >> once we had hector's information, we began meth methodically building investigations of each member in

colombia. it was time to take the investigation overseas. (paul) switch and get...

we began building cases against each member of the cartel over in colombia. it was time to take the

investigation overseas. >> our goal was to round up the leadership of the cartel, extradite them here to the united states and have them stand trial for drug trafficking and money laundering. >> but there were many skeptics within my office, within law enforcement. you indicted the entire cartel. good luck capturing any of them. that's where kevin came in. >> the dea assisted the el dorado task force in capturing fugitives in colombia. in early 2000 i was transferred to our offices down there. i was assigned to go after cartel fugitives, drug traffick traffickers. in order to create jurisdiction to go after drug lords in foreign country passed a law which makes it a crime to

conspire to export narcotics to the united states. this law designed to go after people like the cartel who are sending tons and tons of narcotics to the united states and never step foot here. one of the tasks i was assigned was to put together the narcotics campaign which advertised rewards for the captures. it's basically the colombiaen version of america's most wanted. we create a website. we had newspaper advertising. >> information starts flooding in. if you were going to name the three big of the indictments, there was archangel and carlos also known as -- and archangel

was the first big fish. we received some intelligence prior to the advertising campaign that one of the top fugitives was hiding out in panama. one of the leaders of the cartel. he was a prime target. >> he was hiding out at a ranch. the intelligence decides that it sounds very good. we mount an operation with the national police to affect the capture. i was under the impression this would be like other missions or a remote ranch, very tiflt to get to, guards outside. literally as we are driving down, there is a huge sign that says name the ranch.

everything is right in front of the highway. there is a huge thatch roof eating area next to the pool and about 30 people having breakfast as we drive by. i went that's different than we thought. so we are like we are not waiting until monday. we're going to hit this right now. ist your country. let's do it. we pull out our vests and our guns and take the suvs and drive right up on to the ranch. a police officer can't shoot someone until they give two warning shots. so as soon as they jump out of the car -- plasting rounds in the air. we weren't prepared for this. luckily no one was heard and they were able to capture everyone on the ranch without incident. >> in january of 2004 arch angel

first major arrest and major extradition of the case. >> and with his capture, the ball started rolling. >> with the help of the advertising campaign that we had launched against the cartel, more and more intel starts coming in and we start using that to pick off these guys. targets begin to get captured. >> slowly but surely, we charged people, had people arrested, flipped them and charged the next two and charged the next four. >> starting with arch angel over the next dozen years. we ended up arresting some 30 people and extraditing them all from colombia. from ground troops to the sergeants to lieutenants. >> until finally we got to luis. he was also one of the king pins

of the cartel which was part of the last group that really controlled almost all the cocaine trafficking in colombia. he was untouchable because of his power and because of his reach. we had to capture bustamante because we worked for years trying to climb the food chain trying to take down the cartel. but where the hell is he? we couldn't find him. >> bustamante went into hiding. >> he moves to venezuela. he's hiding out in venezuela and decides to go to cuba. while entering cuba on a fake mexican passport, an official in cuban immigration realizes he doesn't speak like a mexican, asking questions like who is the president of mexico, sing me the

national anthem. he is taken into custody. bustamante spends two years in jail on the fake passport charge. the colombiaens arrange for extradition back to colombia. we're there waiting for him. he was immediately extradited to the united states. >> bustamante was one of the acknowledged top leaders of the cartel. when he was caught showed us that we could climb the food chain to the end and be successful. >> even though he had in custody, we just step by step kept going. there were other individuals to prosecute. one of those was a traffic ker. several of the witnesses told us that he was not happy because we

caused him to be arrested. and he had put a contract out on our lives. there would be a huge reward for someone who would kill us. >> it was a big [ bleep ] deal. r makes any occasion the perfect coffee occasion. breakfast in bed! just add ground coffee for a carafe, or pop in a pod for a freshly brewed cup. exactly how i like my coffee. you've got your carafe. i've got my light roast. we're brewing the love.

towards the end of the investigation, we arrested a

trafficker. he was one of the higher of the cartel and had put a contract out on our lives. >> it was a big [ bleep ] deal. >> there would be a huge reward for someone who would kill us. >> they took it seriously. they put us under 24/7 protection because he was of the whole group the worst. we had an informant who had worked for him and he said he used to have a wood chipper on his property. and he said that he would use that wood chipper to dispose of bodies. i think it was the assistant who asked him were the bodies always dead? and his answer was most of the time. >> i lived with u.s. marshall's protection for three months. he had i.c.e. agents following him around. i tried to keep my life as

normal as possible. i took my kids to school every morning, but in an armored suv followed by another armored suv. i went to the gym. sometimes they would take classes with me. sometimes they would wait outside with rifles. i just went about life as normal. >> were you scared? >> i wasn't scared until it was over. the day that he was sentenced to 40 years was the first time i allowed myself to get scared. and it passed because it was over. >> he went to trial. he was one of the few guys in the indictment who did not cooperate. and he got convicted in 2010 and got sentenced to 40 years. and he's now gainfully passing his time in some jail in pennsylvania i think. >> ultimately, after 12 years, we convicted 35 members of the

cartel. this was a massive investigation, and it led to the dismantling of one of the most violent, most prolific car tells in colombia. >> the el dorado indictment was one of the indictments used to take down the cartel. it also exposed the money remittance system where they started wiring money back is no longer available. they have clamped down. there are new rules on the industry. it was a great example of starting on the streets with a low level investigation and taking it all the way to the top. one domino knocked down another and another to the end of the line. this was the biggest case of my career and probably the career of every other agent that ever walked the face of the earth. >> just kidding. just kidding. the irony of this case, actually, we never seized a kilo

of cocaine. >> had i not done the investigation, i wouldn't have made less money. had i been unsuccessful, i wouldn't have been punished. and taking down the entire cartel didn't get me promoted or get me any bonuses. this was our job. >> i was a young man in college and wrote papers about colombia and the car tells down there. to be able to get to go down there and participate in these investigations and capture these fugitives, it's what i wanted to do since i was about 16 years old. >> and the cartel was truly the end of an era. that was the last cartel in the way we think about it. they were the last group that really controlled almost all the cocaine trafficking in colombia. >> the end of the story of the cartel is really the beginning of another story.

>> as drug-related violence claims lives in mexico, the governments of the u.s. and mexico are keeping an eye on emerging drug trafficking organizations. >> dead bodies hanging from bridges just minutes from the airport. >> it's a war in which the finest forces mexico can muster are struggling against well-armed cartels. >> i see a direct line from the cartel to what we see in countries like mexico. >> the border city is one of the most violent in mexico as rival gangs frequently fight for control over smuggling routes into the u.s. >> the violence you are seeing in mexico is a result of the shift of the route of cocaine leaving colombia because under the nort valle car tells shifts into mexico. it makes a lot of deals with mexican cartels. they begin this whole movement of bulk shipping cocaine into

mexico. after the demise, mexicans take over distribution in the united states. and where there is a demand, there will always be someone to give the supply. we live in troubled times. >> a deadly mass shooting. >> who is going to pay for the wall? >> 2017 saw 17 percent more hate crimes than 2016. according to new statistics released by the fbi. >> there is no question, americans are stressed out. and for many, the quickest path to relief has been a tiny little pill. >> my doctor told me about clonpen. i noticed it took away my anxiety. >>xanox,
