💨 Abstract

Diego Marín, a notorious figure in Colombia's underworld, built a vast money-laundering network and evaded capture for decades. Allegedly, he corrupted authorities and even had ties with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), who turned a blind eye to his activities. Marín, known as the "Contraband Czar," is accused of bribing officials, including President Gustavo Petro, and generating up to $100 million annually.
