Sosa is first seen in Bolivia giving Tony Montana and Omar Suarez a tour of his drug factory. It turns out he could have talked to Frank Lopez in person, but with his trail going on, he sends Tony and Omar to go to Sosa. While having lunch in his mansion, Tony makes a dangerous risk to Sosa, something neither Frank nor Omar would want. The latter and Tony argue about this as Sosa gets a phone call. Afterwards, he offers Omar a ride back to Miami by helicopter.
Then Sosa has revealed to Tony that Omar is a police informant responsible for sending gang members to jail. Therefore, a helicopter ride from Sosa is a trap to get him killed.

It turns out they have a problem and by working together will be the solution. Sosa shows Tony a video of an anti-Bolivian activist revealing of Sosa's shady dealings to the entire world.

Tony reluctantly agrees to do the job, and if he does it, Sosa will use his government connections to give him immunity from going to jail.
Tony, not wanting to kill the activist's wife and children, calls off the mission and double-crosses Sosa in the process. He is later called by Sosa who is furious on that and reminds him of the warning he gave him. He is not seen after having send his army to kill Tony.
