The Florida Cartel War: When a Kingpin Declared War on the FBI

True Crime

About this episode

In the 1980s, Florida was the bloody epicenter of America's cocaine war, where billion-dollar empires were built on intimidation and murder. But one dealer escalated the conflict to an unprecedented level. When the FBI began closing in, he didn't just run or hide—he declared war on the government itself, targeting the agents and prosecutors building the case against him. This is the story of how the Bureau's finest faced a new kind of threat: a ruthlessly ambitious kingpin with the resources and audacity to fight back against the full force of federal law, turning the sun-drenched streets of Miami into a battlefield.
