The successive failures of Escobar's operations annoyed the CIA and the Drug Enforcement Administration, and at the same time deeply worried. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 InfoBecause behind the Medellín group, there is a faint presence of an even more powerful force.

Due to the large amount of Soviet military equipment that appeared in the battle of La Modero prison, combined with the popular Soviet car brand Rada Niva in Colombia. Intelligence experts have analyzed that it is likely that the arms were brought into Colombia through merchant ships transporting the cars.

The seizure of the Soviets' goods, not to mention that the Colombian government does not have the guts, even the CIA has to weigh what bad effects this incident will have. In the absence of sufficient evidence, the CIA would not dare to act recklessly, and the path was quickly rejected.

On the contrary, there was a new development on the part of the US Drug Enforcement Administration, which, according to the reports of the intelligence agents planted by the Drug Enforcement Agency within the Medellín group, obtained photographs of mercenaries who played the role of commander in the battle for La Modero prison, through which the CIA quickly learned the identities of Ben Ali and his companions. Finally a new clue was found, and the CIA soon launched a meticulous investigation into Ben Ali.

At the same time, Yuri and Ivankov were recruiting Santos, the chief accountant of the Orejuela brothers, the bosses of the Cali group, from Cali, Colombia's third-largest city. The two sides are discussing further strengthening cooperation. This was to prevent the increasingly ambitious Escobar from happening to the Gorky Brotherhood's business.

Perhaps compared with the booming Medellín Group, the Cali Group is far inferior in terms of scale and influence, but over the years, the Cali Group has been hiding behind the Medellín Group and making a lot of money. In order to avoid conflict with the powerful Medellín group, they abandoned the American market and opened up markets in Europe, Japan and Australia, a vision that quickly made the Orejuela brothers stand out from the Colombian drug lords and become the second largest drug cartel after the Medellín group.

Things have come to this point, for the safety of the Gorky Brotherhood, Seryosha has to take precautions, and betting on the Cali Group is a way to diversify risks.

A few years ago, when Escobar and the Colombian government had not yet reached such a scene, he twice offered the government to repay between $0.8 billion and $14 billion in foreign debt in exchange for the government's recognition of the legalization of his assets and the cancellation of prosecutions against drug traffickers. At that time, Escobar knew what it meant to be afraid, but now he was carried away by the victory and had become a little carried away.

For the Cali Group, the choice to strengthen cooperation with the Gorky Brotherhood was a dream thing, after all, the Gorky Brotherhood has a reputation for professionalism and efficiency in Europe and the Americas. With the help of the Gorky Brotherhood, most of the assets can be legally transferred to the United States and Europe.

Cooperation with the Cali Group was also carried out through car loans, which were not inherently illegal at all, because the car trade was located in offshore financial centers, and the Soviet government and companies did not require car buyers to provide proof of the legality of their funds. From the moment the cars arrive at the Colombian port, the cars belong to the customer, and for Colombian banks, their income comes from the monthly loans paid by the customers who buy the cars, which is no problem.

In order to facilitate the flow of funds around the world, Seryosha asked Bank of Colombia to open branches in offshore financial centers such as the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, as well as in London, Switzerland, and Japan, where financial regulations are more relaxed. Seryosha's large amount of money can be easily transferred to these areas at will, but in the past six months, Seryosha has been consciously transferring funds to Japan. And Mikhail also began to dispose of all the subprime mortgage products in the hands of the Three Gold Club one after another.

Although this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money, Seryosha has so much business in his hands that there is no need to put his entire wealth on it. So he just used the surplus funds in his hand to invest in this operation. By now, tens of billions of dollars in cash had been amassed on the books of the Japanese branch of the Bank of Colombia, and it was still increasing, most of which was temporarily deposited by customers in the hands of the Gorky Brotherhood, in addition to some funds belonging to the Soviet government that were misappropriated by Seryosha. Seryosha's goal is to accumulate funds in his hands to the scale of 100 billion yuan before the Plaza agreement is signed. It's a pity that time is running out for Seryosha.

"Thank you very much for your appreciation of our hotel, no problem, sir!" The manager of the hotel is familiar with this kind of big scene, and now there is still a month to go until September, although the Plaza Hotel is very popular, but if you say hello two months in advance, you can still arrange a floor of rooms. However, since this business was introduced by the State Council, it is naturally a very important matter. The manager of the hotel must report this to the owner.
