Colombian Cartel Boss Pleads Guilty to Bribing U.S. Fed with Cash, Prostitutes Well yeah, he cooperated, Wink Wink. Velasco arranged for a meeting between Ciccione and Piedrahita in Bogota where the drug lords treated the agent with expensive dinners, drinks, and prostitutes in order to get him to help them avoid prosecution.  Ciccione obtained a visa for Piedrahita by claiming that he had cooperated with investigators and that he was never fully identified in the indictment and was not wanted in the U.S. Prosecutors also claimed that Ciccione altered government records and then tricked the U.S. Attorney’s Office into dismissing the initial indictment against Piedrahita. https://www.breitbart.com/border/2019/05/11/colombian-cartel-boss-pleads-guilty-to-bribing-u-s-fed-with-cash-and-prostitutes/
