On the other hand, Conrado Higuera Sol 'Don Sol', was getting involved in politicsas an adviser to senior officials in the political party that was ruling Mexico by that time. His first major blow was when he disclosed evidence about the Governor of Jalisco with money laundering for the Guadalajara cartel founder, Rafael Caro Quintero, with the purpose of climbing positions in the government.

In 1988, a new presidential term began and a new president took office. During this time 'Don Sol' would get a strategic position in the Mexican government under the command of 'General Blanco', a key character to over throw the 'Boss of Bosses'and help drug trafficking to become institutionalized in Mexico.

In a strategic move, 'El Chapo' seized the evidence that Miguel Angel´s lawyer had, showing the complicity and corruption he was part of due to his operations. Such as payments to soldiers, politicians and all people he had bribed.

The Mexican government did not welcome the blood shed that caused Miguel Angel's lawyer death, or the ambush to murder Avendaño brothers in Tijuana. So,'General Blanco' met 'El Chapo' to give him the first and only warning.

Peace didn’t last long. Benjamin and Ramon Avendaño plot an evil plan to intimidate 'El Chapo's' people, which provoked his anger. Joaquin Guzman planned an ambush to end with his enemies at "Christine" night club. However, his plan failed and dozens of people died.

'General Blanco' claimed Amado his lack of leader ship to achieve peace. When he realized that 'El Chapo' had no intention of following rules, he decided to get rid of him with a master plan and at the same time ful fill the government orders of eliminating Juan Jesus Posadas Ocampo cardinal for criticizing the regime and rebellious movements.

Followed by the murder of Posadas Ocampo, Don Sol would decide Guzman Loera's fate. During a meeting with Amado and 'General Blanco', he advised them to blame 'El Chapo' for the cardinal´s murder and keep the version of the crossfire. Then, El Chapo's capture was ordered immediately.

While 'El Chapo' was being chased, 'Don Sol' made a master stroke that took him to the top of power. When he found out that 'General Blanco' had multiple rape accusations against women, 'Don Sol' took the opportunity to get rid of him and looked for the journalist who wrote the article to destroy his image and career.

In the meantime, Amado followed 'El Chapo´s' steps and alerted the 'General'about an important cocaine delivery in El Salvador. The DEA was aware of theoperation also and together with the Mexican government joined forces to set a trapand capture 'El Chapo'.

The news about 'El Chapo´s' capture would be remarkably announced by 'General Blanco'. However, he was removed from his position as an intermediary between the government and drug traffickers when 'Don Sol' told the President about the General´s article on his criminal record.
