Kingpins & Sicarios is a narrated documentary podcast about organized crime: the bosses, the enforcers and the networks that connect them. Each episode follows one case from the court records, investigations and reporting: cartels and drug-trafficking organizations, American drug empires, street and prison gangs, the Mafia and outlaw motorcycle clubs, money laundering, informants, and the takedowns that brought them down. We start in the United States and follow the network wherever it leads, from Mexico and Colombia to the Caribbean and beyond. Every story is built on documented evidence. We separate what was alleged from what a court actually found, we say what is still unknown, and we do not glamorize the people involved.

    Sandra Avila Beltran, the Queen of the Pacific: Acquitted in Mexico, Sentenced in Miami, Released in Tepic

    The United States spent years trying to bring Sandra Avila Beltran north from a Mexican cell. This episode follows the acquittal that did not free her, the extradition that finally came, and the accessory plea that ended the American case. It covers her 2007 arrest outside a Mexico City restaurant, the nine-ton shipment seized aboard a fishing vessel at the port of Manzanillo, the Mexican court's finding that the prosecution had not established time, manner and place, the 2004 Florida indictment, the August 2012 extradition, her guilty plea to accessory after the fact, the seventy-month sentence, and the 2015 finding in Jalisco that she had already served for the same conduct.

    Manuel Noriega: The Hidden Witness Deal and the Drug Conviction That Stood

    Manuel Noriega, commander of Panama's Defense Forces, was convicted by a Miami jury in 1992 on eight drug counts and sentenced to forty years. The appeal that followed found the government had concealed a deal with one of its witnesses - and still let the verdict stand. The episode follows the record: the Medellin cartel's payments into secret BCCI accounts, the more than twenty-three million dollars traced to Noriega, and the Rule 35 deal that cut a Cali cartel associate's sentence in exchange for delivering witness Ricardo Bilonick. It covers the 1995 claim that the Cali cartel paid Bilonick 1.25 million dollars to testify, Judge Hoeveler's refusal of a new trial, and the Eleventh Circuit's 1997 ruling that the concealment was impeachment material, not grounds to overturn. It closes with the reduction to thirty years, the 2010 transfer to France and the seven-year money-laundering sentence there, the return to Panama, and his death in 2017.
