Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela wife: Who is Marta Lucia Echeverry?
Now, trophy wives signify something very different. Beauty queens are becoming the preferred trophy spouses for the dons of rival drug cartels in Mexico and Colombia.
In some of the most violent regions of the Americas, drug traffickers have turned to beauty queens as their prized possession.
The method was invented in Colombia in the 1970s. Miguel Rodriguez Orejuela, the ruthless leader of the Cali cartel, was the mistress of Martha Lucia Echeverry, Miss Colombia 1974. It is believed that Echeverry was the first “narco woman.”
The Valle del Cauca district’s Echeverry won the 1974 competition for Colombia’s National Beauty Queen.
She would, however, not meet Miguel Rodrguez Orejuela, the ruthless boss of the Cali Cartel, until 1980.
According to Semana, the two got acquainted when Echeverry started doing public relations work for the professional soccer team in Cali, which was then owned by Rodriguez Orejuela.
Their romance didn’t end until 2005, when Rodrguez Orejuela was extradited to the US.
