Carlos Lehder Wiki Biography

  • Carlos Enrique Lehder Rivas, who was born on 11 September 1949 in Armenia, Colombia, is a Colombian drug dealer. 
  • He is well known as the Medellin Cartel’s co-founder and one of the founding members of the paramilitary organization Muerte a Secuestradores. 
  • Carlos is imprisoned in the US at the moment. 
  • It has been calculated, according to reports, that the total net worth of Carlos Lehder is $2.7 billion. 
  • By becoming a drug lord in Columbia and one of the region’s most powerful narco-bosses, Lehder acquired his net worth. 
  • His net worth also increased when he created the National Latin Movement, the Columbian neo-Nazi political party, which forced the country to revoke its extradition agreement with the United States. 
  • Lehder was born to a Colombian mother who was a schoolteacher, and a father who was a German engineer. 
  • Lehder is of half-German descent. 
  • A semi-lawful used car company was operated by his relatives, in which Carlos began his criminal activities by supplying him with stolen cars. 
  • Carlos and George organized cocaine smuggling from Antigua to the US when released, and were soon flying cocaine to the US via the Bahamas, taking over the island of Norman’s Cay, meanwhile increasing his net worth dramatically, but he pushed Jung out in the late ‘70s and took Robert Vesco, an international criminal financier, as his new partner. 
  • Lehder has now acquired massive sums of money, supposedly promising to pay off Colombia’s external debt more than once, in exchange for immunity from extradition to the US. 
  • The National Latino Movement political party was then established by Carlos, but the assassination of the Minister of Justice meant the beginning of the end of Lehder, as the President was now ready to extradite, and Carlos was at the top of the list. 
  • In 1987, he was extradited to the United States, where he was sentenced to life without parole, and the Medellin Cartel group quickly disintegrated after that. 
  • Five years later, however, Lehder’s sentence was shortened to 55 years in exchange for his testimony against Manuel Noriega, a Panamanian politician. 
  • Carlos went missing in 1995, and the rumor was that he was living freely abroad. 
  • However, Lehder appeared before a court in July 2005 to challenge his conviction, arguing that the US had failed to meet its obligations under the cooperation agreement it had signed. 
  • Since then, several other legal representations have occurred, but Lehder is still in prison in the US as of mid-2016. 
  • His release would seem very unlikely any time soon.
