How Carlos Lehder Become a Criminal?

Lehder started his criminal career as a stolen car dealer. Such as a marijuana
dealer and a smuggling of stolen cars between the United States and Canada.
While serving a car bomb at a federal prison in Connecticut, Danbury, Lehder
decided that after his release he would use the growing cocaine market in the
United States. To this end, he recruited his roommate, former marijuana dealer
George Jung, as his future companion.

Jung had experience flying marijuana to the U.S. from Mexico in aircraft. Inspired
by the idea, Lehder decided to join the principle of transporting cocaine and
joining forces with Jung.

In jail, Lehder has started to find all kinds of information that could be useful in the
cocaine sector. Sometimes it also spends hours in questioning other prisoners on money
laundering and smuggling. Apparently, Jung said that Lehder had countless recordings
and kept notes.

Who is the Real Diego from the blow?

George Jungs cell companion cellist in a federal prison in Danbury, was a good

has spent the last 20 years behind bars. But TMZ has seen him at the San
Francisco International Airport. They asked him what his first meal was when he
got out of jail. TMZ said Jung would live in a rehabilitation center in San
Francisco.
Lehder & Jung Partnership in Drug Dealing

When Lehder and Jung abandoned the escape, they started a small source of
income through traditional and straightforward drug smuggling. More specifically,
they have recruited two young Americans who take paid leave in Antigua, receive
cocaine and carry it in their bags to the United States. Repeating this method
several times in drug transporting, Lehder and Jung soon had enough money for
an airplane.

With the help of a stolen small aircraft and a commercial pilot. The couple brought
cocaine to the Bahamas in the United States to increase their financial resources.
And establish links with Colombian suppliers and distribute money to government
officials. In the Bahamas, it started. For political reasons and judicial protection.
His unconventional method of drug smuggling has gained credibility.

Nomans Cay

In the 1970s, the Leader Jung Association began to diverge, due to a combination
of the secret intrigues of Leaders and megalomania to secure a personal island in
the Bahamas as the site of all its operations.

This island was Normans Cay, which at that time included a marina, a yacht club,
a hundred private homes, and a landing strip. In 1978, Lehder began buying real
estate and harassing and threatening the Islanders. At one point, a yacht was
found drifting off the coast with the corpse of one of its owners on board. It
estimated that Lehder spent a total of $ 4.5 million on the island.

When Lehder paid or forced the local population to take full control of the island,
Normans Cay became his lawless private law. Until then, he had pushed Jung to
abandon the operation, and international criminal Robert Vesco had become a
partner. Jung used his previous relationships to take a more modest contraband
line for Pablo Escobar and keep Leader out.
Drug Smuggling Center

From 1978 to 1982, Cay was the most significant drug smuggling center in th e
Caribbean and a tropical recreation and recreation area for Lehder and his
associates. They stole cocaine from Colombia by air and then reloaded it in a
small plane that had later distributed to places in Georgia, Florida, and the
Carolinas. It had believed that Lehder received 1 kilogram of every four
transported by Normans Cay.

Lehder built a 3300-foot or 1000-meter runway, which was protected by a

Doberman radar, bodyguards and attack dogs for the fleet of aircraft under his
command. In the glorious days of his operation, 300 kilograms of cocaine arrived
on the island every day, and Lehders fortune was in the billions.

He obtained such incredible wealth that he offered to pay Colombias external

debts twice. In 1978, he provided President Alfonso Lpez Michelsen a free
space for drug trafficking; In 1982, thanks to Escobar, then a member of the
Colombian Congress, Lehder did it again, this time to avoid his extradition.

Escobar & Lehder Participated In Colombian Politics

The approval of his government for the extradition of Colombians has encouraged
Escobar and Lehder to participate in politics. Lehder founded the Latino National
Movement, which led to three seats in Congress and became popular with
extradition speeches.

The assassination on April 30, 1984, Rodrigo Lara Bonilla, Colombias justice
minister, begins the end of the end for Lehder and the Medellin sign. Lara had
opposed the activities of the cartel, and her assassination marked a change in
Colombian politics. President Belisario Betancur, who previously fought the
extradition of Colombian drug traffickers to the United States, announced he was
ready for extradition. Lehders name was the best in the list of repressions.

Other key members of the Medellin cartel escaped to Manuel Noriegas prote ction
in Panama, but when Pablo Escobar found out that Noriega was plotting to sell
him to the United States for amnesty in return, the cartel officials fled Nicaragua
to the presidents help look for Nicaragua Daniel Ortega. , Escobar had paid some
of the colonies closest to Noriega to inform him of Noriegas intentions.

Lehders case backed by his corrupt Bahamas officials and the attention he has
attracted to Norman Cay.

Brian Rosss Report and Corruption Charge of Lehder

Brian Ross report of September 5, 1983, in the US NBC Channel. This report
showed the corruption of Bahamian government leaders. Therefore Lehder could
not return to Normans Cay. The government had blocked all its bank accounts,
confiscated their property and possessions, and had gone from a multimillionaire
bank to being bankrupt.

Running in the jungle Lehder became ill with fever. Escobar sent a helicop ter to
Lehder and brought him back to Medellin where he received medical help to save
his life. Still, it was fragile. When Lehder recovered, Escobar took him as a
bodyguard.

Finally, Lehder wanted to rebuild his fortune. But he had arrested on a farm he
had just settled in Colombia when a new employee informed the police of his
position.

Another theory supported by Jhon Jairo Velsquez, better known as Popeye

known to the chief assassin of Pablo Escobar, who Medellins companions
wanted him out of the picture. Because of his radical military behavior thought he
would be in danger his Empire of Cocaine so that Escobar was made available to
Lehders stay by the police, which led to Lehders conquest.

Carlos Lehder & USA

The United States government Captured one of the most influential members of
the cartel. He used it as a source of information on the details of the secret
empire of the intent, which subsequently proved helpful in helping the Colombian
government dismantle the purpose. In 1987, Lehder extradited to the United
States. Where he convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment without further
evidence, more than 135 years.

Now all the other executives of the cartel knew what would happen if they arrived
and soon after they split Medellins antitrust organizations.

These small organizations, including Escobar, were subsequently attacked by

Calis collusion, by the Colombian police/army and later by the US government. A
violent war began when the leaders of the Medellin cartel tried to protect
themselves against counterattacks.

A letter for Federal District Judge from Lehder

In exchange for a Lehder deal to testify against Manuel Noriega, his sentence
reduced to 55 in 1992. Three years later, Lehder wrote a letter to a federal district
court in Jacksonville complaining that the government had violated an agreement
to transfer him to a German prison. The message had interpreted as a threat to
the judge.

A few weeks after sending this letter in the autumn of 1995, Lehder had put on
the night, according to several protected witnesses of Arizonas Mesa unit. While
many believe it released, others disagree. Lehders brother, Federico Guillermo
Lehder, who operated on the periphery of the company by Carlos, could have
been wrong, leaving the information Carlos was free and lived abroad.

operation agreement with the US Attorneys Office after the suspension of the
contract.

operation agreement.
