Both the series and the book by William C. Rempel and Jorge Salcedo have been openly criticized by William Rodríguez Abadía, son of Miguel Rodríguez Orejuela, not only for how drug trafficking is glorified, but also for several inconsistencies shown in the book, also stating that Jorge Salcedo started working for the Cali Cartel just months before the capture of its leaders, and that the real head of security was Mario del Basto.[5][6]
Plot
En la boca del lobo tells the story of the man responsible for the fall of one of the most powerful cartels of all time. The story focuses on Ricardo Salgado (Luis Fernando Hoyos), an engineer and soldier who became in charge of the security of the godfather of the Cali Cartel, one of the largest criminal organizations in the world and rival of the Medellin Cartel.[7]
