Jose Gacha grew rich through emerald mines and with that could fund his drug operations and eventually the operations of the Medellin Cartel. Jose Gacha eventually grew mistrusting of Pablo and split off. He formed his own cartel, Cartel de la Sierra. He co-founded it with various other individuals but Jose Gacha was the main don.
Together with his cousin, Gustavo Gaviria, Pablo formed the Medellin Cartel. Gustavo was in charge of the cartel's finances and trade routes. Gustavo was regarded as the cartels second in command, though Jose Gacha was also widely regarded as second in command during his asssociateship.
One of the other founding members was Carlos Lehder, a Germanic-Colombian drug trafficker. At age 24 he started aviation classes. He created some routes from Colombia to the Germanic Zone of America and the Neutral Zone. He was also known to have extreme right wing ideas.
Three Ochoa brothers served the Medellin Cartel. Two of which were Jorge and Juan Ochoa, who were the co-founders of the Medellin Cartel. Fabio Ochoa joined the cartel as well and eventually was reported to be the chief executive of the family business. The three brothers grew mistrusting of Pablo over time. Their distrust increased after Jose Gacha left the cartel. Following Gacha's leave, the Ochoa brothers were visited by the Cali Cartel don, Pacho Herrera.
