Griselda Blanco was a prominent fixture in the Miami cocaine trade from the 1970s through the early 2000s. She was heavily involved in the Miami Drug War or the Cocaine Cowboy Wars in the late '70s to the early '80s. She was also rumored to have been part of the powerful Medellín Cartel led by Pablo Escobar.

This cocaine distribution network spanned the US and earned $80 million a month, according to Maxim. To combat this, the Miami-Dade Police Department and the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) formed an anti-drug operation called CENTAC 26.

Blanco was reportedly credit to have brought the motorcycle drive-by assassination style from Colombia to the US. She was killed in Medellín, Colombia in Sept. 3, 2012, by a gunman on a motorcyle.

Griselda premieres on Netflix on Jan. 25, 2024.
