Calderonig

Guilleromo Calderoni was a commander of the Mexican Federal Judicial Police. Infamous for being incorruptible, Calderoni spearheaded the Mexican operation to bring down the Guadalajara cartel. However, despite winning the trust of the Americans; he faced trouble from his superiors who were indirectly involved with the cartel.

While unsuccessful at first, Calderoni led the operation which led to the arrest of Guadalajara cartel drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero in Costa Rica on April, 1985; two months following Enrique Camarena Salazar's murder. He also led an operation targeting cartel kingpin Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo. However, the incorruptible Calderoni was forced to let Félix Gallardo go despite holding him at gunpoint, as the drug lord threatened releasing audio tapes implicating Calderoni's superiors in the murder of Camarena, putting Calderoni and his family in danger. Calderoni accepts a bribe of $2 million and lets Félix Gallardo free.
