Episode Details

A major international drug kingpin, Erick Randhiel Mosquea Polanco—aka “Ramon” or “E”—has been extradited from Colombia to face charges in New Jersey and Puerto Rico. The 45-year-old allegedly led a massive cocaine trafficking ring based in the Dominican Republic, moving thousands of kilograms of drugs through Colombia and Venezuela, then distributing them across Puerto Rico and into New York and New Jersey. Authorities seized over 1,000kg of cocaine, $6 million in cash, and other contraband during an investigation that uncovered his sprawling operation. Now facing up to life in prison if convicted on multiple counts of drug trafficking and money laundering, he’s the latest high-profile figure in a crackdown that’s already seen many of his associates behind bars.
