Carlos Lehder was depicted as being arrested in the Tranquilandia bust. Although he was involved in the factory’s management, his capture went down differently. The first theory is that one of his employees ratted out his location. A second theory from one of Pablo’s sicarios is that the Medellin Cartel was worried that his radical behavior would put their operation at risk, so Escobar told the cops about Ledher’s whereabouts himself. Either way, what’s true is that Ledher was the first major drug kingpin extradited to the U.S. and he now rots in an American jail.

Many criminals were out of a job that day after a tracking device placed on a barrel of ether led the DEA to Tranquilandia. Originally constructed by Jose Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha, the cocaine factory had 19 labs and its own water and electrical system.
