- Historical accuracy
Rubén Zuno Arce was a Mexican socialite and businessman, who served as the bridge between the Mexican government and the Guadalajara cartel.
In the early 1980s, Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo paid Zuno $1 million for an introduction to Zuno's uncle, who was a powerful figure in the Mexican government. His uncle offered political protection to the Guadalajara Cartel, allowing it to smuggle cocaine into the United States.

He was arrested by officials soon after Camarena's murder, and was extradited to the United Stat...
