In addition to trafficking drugs, García Ábrego would ship cash to be laundered, in the millions. Instead, he created warehouses along the Mexican's northern border to preserve hundreds of tons of cocaine this allowed him to create a new distribution network and increase his political influence. This renegotiation, however, forced Garcia Ábrego to guarantee the product's arrival from Colombia to its destination. By negotiating with the Cali Cartel, García Ábrego was able to secure 50% of the shipment out of Colombia as payment for delivery, instead of the US$1,500 per kilogram they were previously receiving.
