The Colombian Cartel is exceptionally well armed, and are led by [[Catalina]] and [[Miguel]] to produce and supply the drug SPANK in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. It is suggested by Liberty City police records that the Colombian Cartel may be using the [[Francis International Airport, Shoreside Vale|local airport]] and a harbor freight as a front to smuggle the [[SPANK]] drug into Liberty City, although they have yet to thoroughly prove this. In [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], [[Rise FM]] DJ [[Boy Sanchez]] mentions having tried a new drug on the street called "SPANK". This means that SPANK was at least in production in [[1998]]. Miguel was leading this cartel during this period as well; Catalina did not join the organization until [[2001]], when she shot her boyfriend Claude and took off with the money the pair had just robbed from a bank. There are hints during various cutscenes in GTA III that she and Miguel are lovers and she has used the money from the robbery to heighten her standing in the Cartel. After [[Claude|Claude's]] feud with the [[Portland Island Triads|Triads]] ceases, he faces the Colombian Cartel as a new and worse enemy for the rest of the game.

Miguel is later linked to the [[Waka-Gashira Wipeout|assassination]] of [[Yakuza]] leader [[Kenji Kasen]], although he actually had nothing to do with it (real estate mogul [[Donald Love]] ordered Claude to make it look like the Cartel's doing to spark a gang war and drive real estate prices down). He is later tied up in the incomplete skyscraper in [[Fort Staunton]] by Kenji's sister [[Asuka Kasen|Asuka]] and tortured non-stop, although Asuka later grows tired of torturing Miguel, as seen in [[S.A.M.]]. She, however, continues to torture him until he is killed by [[Catalina]], when they kidnap [[Maria Latore|Maria]] and kill Asuka. Catalina assumes command of the Cartel herself. After killing Asuka and trying to escape in a helicopter, her vehicle is shot down by Claude as revenge for shooting him during the bank robbery.
