The man behind it is Diego Fernando Murillo Bejarano, known as Don Berna, a former Escobar bodyguard who made himself indispensable to Colombia's paramilitary peace process while keeping his networks moving. Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York estimate the organization exported multi-ton quantities of cocaine to the United States and Europe, protected by a peace law his lawyers wielded clause by clause. Investigators at the DEA and the United States Attorney's Office build their case across years, lacking direct evidence that connects his name to the transactions one level below him. The question the hunt opens is whether a treaty and a signed peace agreement can hold against an indictment backed by a government that has run out of patience.\r\n\r\nThis episode was created with artificial intelligence: AI-assisted script and AI-generated (synthetic) voice.","author_name":"Creators Obomedia"}
