Apple TV+ has shared the official trailer for the forthcoming docuseries 'Cowboy Cartel' following the take down of Mexico's infamous Los Zetas cartel.
. Streaming Aug. 2, the docuseries explores the takedown of cartel leaders Omar Treviño Morales and Miguel Treviño Morales, who built a violent money laundering empire under the guise of race-horsing transactions.
“When you think of the drug cartels, you think of the drugs, you think of the violence, and you think of money,” Joe Tone, the author of “Bones: Brothers, Horses, Cartels, and the Borderland Dream,” says in the trailer. “But you do not think of horses.” He continues: “It’s ranchers and wealthy businessmen who usually populate the winner’s circle. But all of a sudden, there’s this new owner who keeps winning named Jose Treviño.
When it was first suspected that the Treviño brothers were using Los Zetas to launder money through racehorse operations, the peculiarity of the situation created a conundrum: how do you prove that their business is illegal? Scott Lawson, a rookie FBI agent at the time, broke the case that led to a high-stakes mission to topple the cartel. “12,000 law enforcement personnel had to target the Zetas on the same day,” he says in the clip.
The docuseries features first-time interviews with Tone, Lawson, IRS agent Steve Pennington, Assistant United States Attorney Doug Gardner, journalist Ginger Thompson, Irving police officers Steve Junker, Brian Schutt, and Kim Williams, and more.
