Narcos Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Jorge Luis Ochoa — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section says the Ochoa brothers surrendered in 1990, which contradicts the correct date of January 15, 1991.

Cali Cartel — The Cali Cartel did not control the majority of cocaine production and trafficking into the United States for roughly a decade from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s; their peak dominance was in the early-to-mid 1990s after the Medellín Cartel's decline.

Cali Cartel — Operation Cornerstone was a U.S. money laundering operation, not the specific operation targeting the Cali Cartel's downfall; the primary coordinated effort was the Bloque de Búsqueda, and the operation often associated with their takedown is Operation Century

Jorge Luis Ochoa — The entry states Jorge Luis Ochoa was arrested in Spain in 1999, extradited to Colombia, and released in 2002 after serving time. In reality, he was arrested in Spain in 1999, extradited to Colombia, but was released in 1999 after a court ruled his extradition

Cali Cartel — The claim that the Cali Cartel was led by the Rodríguez Orejuela brothers 'and their cousins' is inaccurate; the cousins were not central leaders.

Cali Cartel — The mention of enforcer 'El Chupacabras' is factually incorrect; it is a mythical creature, not a cartel member.

Hacienda Nápoles — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states a siege occurred at Hacienda Nápoles in 1991 when Escobar surrendered, but historically he surrendered in Medellín, not at Hacienda Nápoles, and the siege at Hacienda Nápoles occurred in 1988, not 1991.

La Macarena — The entry incorrectly states the prison was in Envigado; La Catedral was actually located in the municipality of La Estrella, Antioquia, near Envigado but not within it.

La Macarena — The entry says Escobar escaped 'during a transfer attempt'; in canon/history, Escobar escaped on July 22, 1992, when he walked out of La Catedral after learning the government planned to move him to a military prison, but the escape was not during an active tr

La Catedral Prison — The entry states Escobar escaped on July 22, 1992, but the widely-known historical date of his escape from La Catedral is July 21, 1992.
