Two brothers who used to head Colombia’s nefarious Cali Drug Cartel, the cartel that in its prime controlled 80% of the cocaine smuggled into the US, “are considering a book deal that would enable them to pay for their defense in US courts,” says the lawyer for one of the brothers, according to an Agence France Presse wire story. “Such a book could contain explosive revelations about past connections between the political establishment and the drug trade in Colombia,” notes the AFP. And indeed, Roy Kahn, attorney for Miguel Rodriguez Orejuela, says his client and his brother Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela received an offer from a Colombian publisher that “could be particularly attractive as the brothers are finding it difficult to pay their lawyers because US authorities will not allow them to use funds allegedly originating from the illegal drug trade.”
