1-28-96. TWP: "Informant's Revelations on Cali Cartel Implicate Colombian Officials." Inside the counterintelligence center for notorious Cali drug lord Jose Santacruz Londono was an IBM AS/400 computer storing coded information that listed thousands of bribes awarded by the Cali cartel to many individuals known collectively as "Caso 8000." The cartel's sysadmin has been decoding the computer's data and implicating officials from Colombian government, politics, the military and the entertainment industry. He later would be indicted as part of a major racketeering case brought by federal prosecutors in Miami against U.S. lawyers who allegedly have protected Cali interests here and abroad -- three private lawyers who are former federal prosecutors, including one who served as a high-ranking Justice Department official.
