In this explosive episode, we sit down with Alex Vargas, a former gang member and cartel sicario who lived through one of the most dangerous eras of crime. Born in Cali, Colombia but raised in Florida, he grew up in gangs, survived violent wars with rivals, and even faced a 65-year sentence in the U.S. before being repatriated back to Colombia.
He opens up about:
-His violent childhood and early murders committed “for fun” in Colombia
-Joining street gangs in Florida and waging wars against Jamaicans, Cubans, and Latin Kings
-Attempted murder of a cop and a life sentence that should have ended his story
-The shocking way he was freed through Colombia’s repatriation system in the 1990s
-Working with hitmen and experiencing the dark side of the Cali Cartel era
-How his life spiraled through crack, basuco, and violence before eventually transforming
This is one of the rawest, most unfiltered looks into the world of gangs, drugs, and the cartels — told by someone who lived it on both sides of the border.
