What happens

Marlon Moreno El Capo, commonly known as El Capo, is a television series made by Fox Telecolombia and CBS Television Studios. written by Gustavo Bolivar for RCN Television, based on its namesake book.

Despite his immense wealth, Pedro Pablo has maintained a low profile over the course of his life and has kept his role as a drug cartel leader a secret from his friends and family. This strategy has allowed him to fly under the radar of the authorities for years, but has also inadvertently created a complex web of betrayals, loves and hates that grows beyond his control. As the truth is revealed, Pedro Pablo's world begins falling apart around him.
