In Colombia, the heirs to Pablo Escobar's drug empire are conducting
business as usual — though with a somewhat lower profile. Today's
Medellin drug cartels are highly structured and run much like
multinational corporations. But violent gangs operating in the city's
slums provide the muscle; known as combos, they’ve carved Medellin into
fiefdoms, imposing invisible borders between gang territory — borders
that, when ignored, often get people killed.
VICE News travelled
to Medellin to meet gang members — along with top cartel leaders and
assassins — who revealed the inner workings of the city's modern-day
cocaine industry.
