| Abstract: | How "peso-brokers" use U.S. manufacturers to wash the narcotics cartel's cash. To her neighbors in Cucuta, a city of 480,000 in Northern Colombia, Myriam Arana appeared to be the picture of upper-middle-class respectability. Married to a prominent obstetrician, she had two teenage daughters and owned a stylish clothing boutique in a downtown hotel. But Arana, 46, also ran another, far less reputable business. She helped the Caly cartel and other local drug gangs launder millions of dollars. |
