La Paisa

La Paisa was a driver for Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel who made deliveries of goods to Escobar and his sicarios at their "prison" in La Catedral. In 1992, he was stopped by DEA agents Steve Murphy and Javier Pena and forced to put a camera in the back of his truck to monitor his shipments to Escobar's villa. This would ultimately lead to the discovery of the deaths of Gerardo Moncada and Fernando Galeano, which led to the La Catedral siege on 22 July 1992.
