The other members of the "Cocaine Cowboys" were Gustavo and Willie Falcon.

Together, the South Florida drug traffickers were part of the largest drug cases in US history.

The three were indicted in 1991 on charges of smuggling cocaine into the US.

Gustavo disappeared rather than standing trial with "the boys," which was the nickname for Willie and Sal.

In the mid 1990s, Willie and Sal bribed three jurors to win acquittals.

However, they were later retried on drug possession related money laundering charges and sent to prison.

Sal is currently serving a life sentence at a Supermax prison in Colorado.

The film franchise Cocaine Cowboys telling the story about the three men came out in 2006.

Now, the original director is working with Netflix for a new documentary about the insane case.
