They were working together in sales , and importing cocaine to the states.

The CIA's role was exposed in 1996 in an investigative series 'Dark Alliance' by Gary Webb for the San José Mercury News, the investigation , headed Up by Webb revealed ties between the CIA, Nicaragua contras and the crack cocaine ravaging African-american communities.
