Surfside condo had a connection to the cartel: How a 'Cocaine Cowboy' called Champlain South home

Pedro Rosello was a young man when he rented a two-bedroom condo with an ocean view on the fifth floor of what was then one of the newest luxury buildings in Surfside, Florida, just outside Miami.

It was 1988, the peak of the Miami drug wars, and Rosello was a millionaire with fast cars and expensive suits. Flush with cash, he enjoyed a bar inside his condo and a Jacuzzi in the master bedroom. In the garage sat seven Porsches, a blue Ferrari and a Lotus – the type of sports car driven by James Bond in the 1977 film "The Spy Who Loved Me."
