About

This series opens the door into a hidden world of drug trafficking and its ties to political power.

Currently behind bars, he tells the tales of his wild adventures from a North Carolina federal prison via a smuggled cell phone. Each weekly episode is in English and Spanish and shines a light on the life of a man who had access to the top cartel’s, their supply, women and wealth but it all came to a stop. What happened? Buckle up, the plane is taking off and el Transportista is talking about it all.
