Party like a drug trafficker

If you have around $3.2 million lying around and are looking for an upgrade in status, the property of convicted drug trafficker Juan Carlos Ramirez Bdadia, A.K.A. “Chupeta”, are up for sale at an auction in Brazil.

From the BBC:

By any standards, the man suspected of being one of Colombia’s leading drug traffickers appears to have gathered together an impressive portfolio of property in Brazil, which is now up for auction.

In the exclusive resort of Angra dos Reis, a large swimming pool can be seen at the front of the house, and the same is true at a farm in Rio Grande do Sul.

The sale of an extensive and elegant white property in the coastal city of Florianopolis presumably does not include money totalling more than 100,000 euros (£74,000) that was found there by the police.

Also up for sale is the property near to Sao Paulo where the original arrest took place, and which at the time was reported to contain 10 televisions, a gym and a pool, as well as six cars

American authorities once estimated his total wealth at $1.8 Billion.

The global drug trade is valued at $321.6 Billion.
