In “Griselda”, the Netflix series starring Sofía Vergara that follows the life of the infamous drug trafficker Griselda Blanco, there are a large number of characters who were key to the Colombian’s rise to power in Miami, such as Jesús “Chucho” Castro or Rafo Rodríguez “Amílcar”, however, none as outstanding as Jorge “Rivi” Ayala-Rivera.
The Colombian has a prominent role as a hitman under the orders of “the godmother of cocaine”, being responsible for the death of opponents of the also called “Black Widow” and, unlike the production, he was not a bodyguard for other figures before. to join Blanco.
However, there is a detail that the Netflix series overlooks, and that is that Rivi was found guilty of having telephone sexual relations with two members of the Miami-Dade Prosecutor’s Office, complicating the process, something that reduced Griselda Blanco’s sentence. .

THE “RIVI” AYALA TELEPHONE SEX SCANDAL
The drug trafficker’s executioner was, in addition to being a lethal and ruthless killer, a very charismatic and seductive figure, since on more than one occasion, investigators have pointed out that there was a certain attraction between “Rivi” and Griselda, but the former, knowing the fame of the second to murder their husbands if they had any suspicions, she drew a line of professionalism that she would not dare to break.
Despite this, the one Ayala had no qualms regarding interacting with was Sherry Rossbach and Raquel Navarro, secretaries of the state prosecutor’s office that was reviewing the case of his confession, since he had confessed that he committed three murders under the orders of Griselda.
Days before the deal, Rivi had been arrested on a firearms charge when he was caught on a security camera attempting to rob a bank in Chicago. As he was facing the death penalty for his crimes, the hitman agreed to testify once morest his former boss.
Although his testimony allowed him to build a solid case, it was tainted by the discovery that he had telephone sex with two figures close to the prosecutor’s office, which might compromise the process. The scandal cost Michael Band his job.
“Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernández Rundle said any telephone relationship with Ayala was indefensible. Since Ayala is a witness and the secretaries had access to the prosecutors’ files, investigators were concerned that the case might be compromised,” she reads in a report prepared by the Tampa Bay News more than 30 years ago.
“RIVI” AYALA HELPED GRISELDA BLANCO IN HER ARREST
Once their history of crimes was known, it was very likely that Rivi and Griselda’s fate would be the death penalty. However, their confession and the revelation of how the system worked allowed them to exchange their sentence for one of life imprisonment or, failing that, a high sentence.
For his part, Rivi Ayala decided to “present evidence once morest Griselda Blanco in exchange for the State not requesting the death penalty once morest him for the murders he had committed for her,” although later, through the seduction of two members of The Prosecutor’s Office managed to make the report lose credibility.
“We like to think that Rivi did this on purpose as a gift to her, as a sacrifice, as a final act of loyalty. That happens? We do not know. But she feels good,” indicated Eric Newman, co-creator and executive producer of “Griselda.”
For the producer, he felt “pure love” for Griselda, so he tried until the end to avoid a worse fate for her.
“I think Rivi’s story, and I’ve thought regarding this quite a bit, is that of a guy who for a moment thinks he has a heart, begins to feel something he’s never felt before, an asexual connection with Griselda. I don’t think it’s as simple as, ‘Oh, I want to join this person because I think she’s going to go far,’” she added.
