Season 2 of the Netflix original series tracks the downfall of the former Guadalajara crime boss.
Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo may have been living in the lap of luxury in the first few episodes of the Netflix original seriesAs history has shown, Gallardo would eventually be brought down by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Gallardo, also known as"El Padrino" or"The Godfather," grew to power in the 1970s after he managed to band a number of Mexican gangs together to establish one single enterprise known as the Guadalajara Cartel. As depicted on Season 1, Gallardo fostered deals with Colombian cartels to pump drugs into the United States through Mexico during a time when the government was increasing its efforts to prevent illegal trafficking in Florida.
Diego Luna appears as Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo in"Narcos: Mexico." Season 2 of the Netflix original series released on February 13, 2020.Camarena put the spotlight on Gallardo after he posed as an undercover worker at a marijuana plantation run by the cartel. The seizure and eventual destruction of the plantation crippled the Gallardo's operations. As an act of retaliation, Camarena was kidnapped in broad daylight in Guadalajara on February 7, 1985.
Camarena's death sparked international attention. President Ronald Reagan's administration put the pressure on Mexican President Miguel de la Madrid to capture those responsible for Camarena's brutal murder, and the DEA launched Operation Leyenda—the biggest homicide investigation ever conducted by the department, which is chronicled on Season 2 of the series.
