Ever since the 1970’s, Colombia on of the most violent drug trafficking organizations in the world. What simply started as a small cocaine business of smuggling drug has become an uncontrollable multi-million empire. This organization has become sophisticated and more high tech to make more money and to keep authorities away.
The way in which they became more high tech was hiring and engineering expert from Russia and the US to build submarine to drugs in large quantities to the US. The submarines that carried tons of illegal drugs was found by the Colombian national police.
The reason why drug dealers would smuggle drugs to the US was because they bought a kilo for 1,500 in Colombia they would sell in the streets of the US for $50,000. The profit was more then half of what they originally paid for.

This article truly shocked me because the drug business is increasing their technology and even involving people who work for the government in their organization like police officers. They have upgraded their drug trafficking business so much that they built a submarine to ship their materials drugs and weapons. How extreme is that?
