DEA: The Ant and the Elephant

on BBC One London

Third of a six-part documentary series following agents from the United States Drug Enforcement Administration.

Senior intelligence agents have long targeted the Colombian Cali cartel as the most powerful drug-runners in the world. They control 80 per cent of New York's cocaine market through an IRA-style "cell" structure. Tonight's DEA follows special agent Phil Demicco and his group as they track the Colombian driver of a stretched limo who collects no passengers and takes no fares. The driver (codenamed "Stretch") is the boss of a New York cell which secretly moves money and cocaine through a network of dealers hidden among the one million Colombian immigrants in the borough of Queens. But will Demicco identify all the members of the group before "Stretch" spots his pursuers?
