Who is Isabella Bautista?

Isabella is a business partner and longtime friend of Mexican drug kingpin Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo.

We’re first introduced to Isabella when she puts Miguel in contact with her friend, Alberto Sicilia Falcon.

As the series goes on Isabella grows more and more frustrated as Miguel somewhat fails to recognise her importance, Felix often undermines her and excludes her from important business meetings.

Who is Isabella in Narcos in Real Life?

In an interview with Forbes, Teresa Ruiz said of her character: “She’s based on a woman who lived in the 80’s and had a big participation introducing cocaine into the drug business. She’s been nicknamed many things, mainly ‘The Queen’ and mostly I was interested in the character.”

Although the Narcos: Mexico character of Isabella is fictional, she could have been inspired by a female drug cartel leader who was prominent in the 80’s named Sandra Ávila Beltrán.

According to Newsweek.com, Beltrán was known as “La Reina del Pacifico” (The Queen of the Pacific).

Sandra Ávila Beltrán served time in prison for money laundering and possession of illegal firearms and was released in 2015. According to The Guardian, she now lives in Guadalajara.
