Los Rastrojos

Introduction
Los Rastrojos is a paramilitary drug trafficking organization in Colombia and surrounding areas.  It was started in 2002.  The arrest of their leader as caused internal division in the group.  Los Rastrojos sell 3 primary drugs.  They were bangin with FARC and ELN.  They are now beefing with Los Urabenos.

History
Los Rastrojos was created by 2 members of Norte de Valle.  One of the members fell out with the boss of Norte de Valle, that's why Los Rastrojos was created.  In 2008 Comba and El Doctor became the leaders of Los Rastrojos.  After the leaders got arrested Los Rastrojos broke up into 3 groups. They lost control of the drug routes near the Pacific Ocean.

Drug Distribution        
Los Rastrojos traffic weed, cocaine, and heroine.  They were able to smuggle a lot of dope because they had alliances with various criminal gangs.  They were the biggest drug traffickers in Colombia! Now  Los Urabenos is the biggest drug traffickers.

Enemies and Allies
Los Rastrojos fought FARC and ELN in the past.  Then they are allies with both of them, because they signed agreements.  These agreements give Los Rastrojos greater access to coca farms.  They are also in a partnership with Mexican drug cartels.  Los Urabenos is their rival and they are very dangerous because they was created by ex-military.

Conclusion
Los Rastrojos distribute drugs from North west South America.  They aren't as powerful as they use to be because the broke up into smaller groups.  They have several allies and 1 rival.  Don't do drugs and stay in school.
