SNOWING IN BALI

I was not selling in Bali anymore because I was afraid of somebody getting the death penalty. I was saying, 'I don't want to have this on my bill. Somebody dead.'

With his years of expertise in the game, people were often investing in his runs, which he organised by making calls from public phones in Bali. Hells Angel Tota was using Rafael to organise and sell his coke.

Tota calls me golden boy because everything I touch becomes gold. He was very keen, 'Let's do it in Stockholm, you have a wife there, easy.'

Did you do many deals in Stockholm?

Many.

Did you usually fly there?

Fly. First I send the horse from Brazil. They arrive, call me in Bali, say, 'I'm ready.' I say, 'Okay, tomorrow I come,' because Bali to Stockholm has flights every day. And I meet the horse there in the hotel in Stockholm with the windsurf board. I take the booms to my apartment, open, wait, sell, get the money, pay the horse, kick him back, fly to Bali full of cashhhh.

Rafael's wife also regularly flew in to help him carry the cash home.

Your wife was working with you?

All the time. She was more like a brain - calculations, numbers - and I was in the action, in the field. But I start to involve her a little bit too much. I'm not born to be a drug dealer, because I was too
