Who is Amilcar in real life the Venezuelan boss whoDecency

Amílcar, one of the characters in Griselda, a Netflix series, is played by actor José Zúñiga. In the series, Amílcar is the nickname of Rafo Rodríguez, a Venezuelan drug trafficker who dominated the Miami cocaine market in the late '60s and early '70s. In real life, it's not entirely clear whether he's a kingpin. More precisely, but it is certain that he represents the first South American bosses who created a way to import drugs from Colombia to Florida and then distribute them throughout the United States.

In episode 1 of the series, Amílcar meets Griselda Blanco in a bar called El Mutiny. In real life, Mutiny refers to the well-known Mutiny Hotel, considered by US writers to be the epicenter of Florida's drug trade and its extravagances in the 1970s and 1980s.

Griselda tries to sell Amílcar a kilo of cocaine, but has no luck because the boss already has a supplier and if he wanted to buy it, one kilo wouldn't be enough for him because he needs more quantity. Blanco insists on Amílcar and after trying the goods, he gives Griselda the opportunity to become his supplier.
