Amado Carrillo
Fuentes: Later known as the "Lord of the Skies" for
is use of 747 jets to transport cocaine, Amado Carrillo Fuentes was a long-time
"socio" or partner of Pablo Acosta. The enigmatic Amado was
believed to be a part of the Guadalajara drug cartel, sent to Ojinaga to
oversee cocaine shipments that belonged to his bosses and to learn about
border operations from Pablo Acosta. Through his protection scheme
with Mexican federal and state police agencies, and with the Mexican army,
Pablo was able to assure the security for five tons of cocaine a month
flown by turboprop from Colombia to Ojinaga - sometimes landing at the
municipal airport, sometimes at dirt airstrips on ranches upriver from
Ojinaga.
