Part 1: Luis Navia is Pure Narco

Episode 23,   Nov 15, 2021, 05:00 AM

Luis Navia organized the shipment of hundreds of thousands of kilos of cocaine, survived multiple kidnapping attempts, but couldn't escape justice.

Luis Navia said there's no reason he ever should have been in the drug trafficking business. He grew up in a wealthy and privileged family who escaped Cuba and Fidel Castro just in time. Luis attended the best schools and universities. He had everything...but it wasn't enough. Over the next 25 years he ascended to the top ranks of traffickers, working with the most violent and dangerous organizations and people. He survived two kidnappings and avoided being arrested.

He was virtually unknown to law enforcement and only a small, inner circle knew who 'El Senador' actually was. That all changed with Operation Journey, a 12-nation global investigation that eventually ensnared Luis, landing him in a federal prison in the United States. This is one of the most inside-inside stories ever told.
