Part 6/9:
Betrayal and Consequences
The mid-1980s marked a turning point for Mera and George. As the U.S. government intensified its crackdown on drug trafficking, their empire suffered. Betrayed by associates, George was arrested in 1984, while Mera, faced with her own legal issues, ultimately made the painful decision to cooperate with authorities. Her decision to testify against George ensured a lighter sentence for herself but irrevocably shattered their marriage.
