Excerpts:
José Irizarry accepts he is known as the most corrupt agent in US Drug Enforcement Administration history, and admits he “became a different man” by conspiring with Colombian cartels to build a lavish lifestyle of expensive sports cars, Tiffany jewelry and lovers all over the world.
But as he used his final hours of freedom to tell his story to the Associated Press, Irizarry says he won’t be going it alone, accusing some longtime trusted DEA colleagues of joining him to wipe out millions of dollars in drug money laundering. to fund a decade of luxury foreign travel, fine dining, prime seats at sporting events and frat-style debauchery.
As Irizarry tells it, dozens of other federal agents, prosecutors, informants and, in some cases, cartel smugglers themselves were all on the three-continent trip known as “Team America” that picked cities for money laundering collections mainly for party purposes. or coinciding with Real Madrid’s soccer matches or Rafael Nadal’s tennis matches. This included stops along the way at Caribbean strip VIP lounges, Amsterdam’s red light district and aboard a Colombian yacht he launched with plenty of booze and more than a dozen prostitutes.
“We had free access to do whatever we wanted,” Irizarry, 48, told the AP in a series of interviews before beginning a 12-year federal prison sentence. “We’d raise money in the places we wanted to go. And once we got there, it was all about drinking and girls.”
All this revelry had its roots, Irizarry said, in an overwhelming realization among DEA agents around the world that there was nothing they could do to make a dent in the war on drugs anyway. He was only nominally concerned with building cases or stemming a record flow of illegal cocaine and opioids into the United States that has led to more than 100,000 drug overdose deaths a year.
“You can’t win an unwinnable war. The DEA knows that and the agents know that,” Irizarry said. “There’s a lot of drugs coming out of Colombia. And there’s a lot of money. We know we’re not making a difference.”
“The war on drugs is a game. … It was a very fun game that we were playing.”
