The group's "logo", made by the Ochoa Brothers' PR firm
The Extraditibles was a criminal organization founded in 1984 by Pablo Escobar, Carlos Lehder, the Ochoa Brothers, and Jose Rodriguez Gacha to combat the US-Colombia extradition treaty. Gacha decided to hire an army of Israeli mercenaries to gear up for war, and military instructors from the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia also helped The Extraditibles in training. The group fought as the armed wing of the cartels until the 1990s, by which time almost all of the leaders of the mother Medellin Cartel had been killed or captured.
