Description

GTA III

The Cartel uses the mansion as a home for their leader, Catalina in 2001 (during the events of Grand Theft Auto III). After the kidnapping of Maria Latore, Catalina forced her former boyfriend, Claude to bring $500,000 to the mansion in return for not killing Maria. However, after luring him again, Catalina let Claude in the mercy of her Cartel men.

A short shoot-out engaged where Claude managed to survive and escape the mansion, while chasing Catalina, who was flying a helicopter. Another huge shoot-out at the Cochrane Dam happened, where Claude managed to win the battle and save Maria, as well as shooting down Catalina's helicopter. After the events of GTA III it's unknown whether the Cartel still own the mansion. The mansion's compound includes a garage, a garden and a pool.
