En los a隳s noventa, Horacio, colombiano, Sammy, dominicano, y el guatemalteco Otoniel se conocieron en una c嫫cel de Nueva York, los tres detenidos por narcotr塻ico. Pocos a隳s despu廥, al salir libres, se asociaron para enviar coca璯a desde Centroam廨ica hasta la Gran Manzana. Sammy, Horacio y la DEA dec燰n que en esta empresa tambi幯 participaba el guatemalteco Jorge Mario. 匜, a la fecha, lo niega, pero suma 17 a隳s encarcelado (y es el ico detenido a) porque --por el mal consejo de su abogada-- no sigui?las reglas del sistema judicial en Estados Unidos para esquivar grandes condenas.
M嫳 que contar una historia com de narcotr塻ico, la autora quiso mostrar aquello que no se evidencia, lo que queda detr嫳 de los reportajes period疄ticos, y los intr璯gulis entre personajes que, despu廥 de arriesgarlo todo, acaban peor de como empezaron. Ansiosos por salvarse, echan al agua --y sin pesta鎑ar-- a quien sea necesario y recuperan su libertad a pesar de los cargos.
Este es un esfuerzo period疄tico y literario por contar un caso ver獮ico usando algunas t嶰nicas de la ficci鏮; pero s鏊o t嶰nicas, porque en estos casos la realidad supera la imaginaci鏮.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"THE TAPES REVEALED A CALM, EASYGOING SAMMY, WHO, LAUGHING, TOLD THE COLOMBIAN THAT EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS SPEAKING FROM THE HOTEL ROOM WHERE HE WAS HOLED UP WITH DEA AGENTS."
In the 1990s, Horacio, a Colombian; Sammy, a Dominican; and Otoniel, from Guatemala, met in a New York prison, all three arrested on drug trafficking charges. A few years later, upon being released, they partnered to ship cocaine from Central America to the Big Apple. Sammy, Horacio, and the DEA claimed that Guatemalan Jorge Mario was also involved. To this day, he denies it -- yet he has spent 17 years imprisoned (and remains the only one still behind bars) because--due to poor legal advice--he failed to follow the rules of the U.S. judicial system that help defendants avoid lengthy sentences.
Rather than telling a typical drug trafficking story, the author sought to reveal what remains unseen--what happens beyond journalistic reporting--and the tangled dynamics between characters who, after risking everything, end up worse than they began. Desperate to save themselves, they turn on anyone necessary--without hesitation--and regain their freedom despite the charges against them.
This is a journalistic and literary effort to recount a true case using certain techniques of fiction--but only techniques, for in these situations, reality far surpasses imagination.
