This study has sought to identify and analyze the key agents, relation ships and processes characterizing the evolving of micro-drug traffic king and retail-drug dealing as the present phase of drug-trafficking in Colombia. We build an analytical model in a sequential network game-theoretic structure, which takes into account the trafficker's corruption strategies. The most important finding is that Higher levels of reprisal could can be counterproductive due to the strategic responses of traffickers leading them to invest more resources invest in corruption activities.

Keywords : Micro-drug trafficking, drug dealing, contests, corruption and social networks; JEL: K42, D43, L13, C72, D85, D73.
