Worlds Richest Cocaine Lord - Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria

"King of COCAINE"

Mr. Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria

Pablo Escobar was the leader of the largest drug mafia the world has ever seen. Escobar was born in 1940 in Rionegro, Colombia.

Pablo Escobar was the third of seven children of Abel de Jesús Escobar Echeverri, a farmer and Hermilda de los Dolores Gaviria Berrío.

Escobar grew up in a town called Medellin. The city later witnessed his rise and fall. Pablo was involved in robbery and smuggling as a teenager. Medellin in Columbia was once a densely populated city and full of criminals.

Escobar grew up in Medellin as a thief and bodyguard before entering the drug trade in the early 1970s.

Pablo entered the cocaine industry in early 1975 and began exporting large quantities of narcotics to the United States.

In 1976, police arrested Pablo and team, who were on their way to Medellin from Ecuador under the influence of drugs, and Pablo's attempt to escape by paying a bribe and failed. The case was later charged and the case went on for a long time, but Pablo killed the 2 policemen who arrested him. The case then slipped away. This is how Pablo interacted with the authorities after that.

Either bribery or murder.

At the time, there were only a handful of drug dealers in Medellin. Except there were no big drug cartels back then. Pablo Escobar saw this as an opportunity and began to grow his empire in Medellin in a way that no one else could. In the early days, cocaine paste was bought from Peru processed into powders. Demand for cocaine in the United States soon increased, and shipping reached California, Florida, and other parts of the country.

Under Pablo's leadership, a large drug empire called the Medellin Cartel was slowly growing. Pablo and Medellin Cartel co - founder Carlos Lehder set up a new transshipment on Norman's Cay, an island off the south coast of Florida. Pablo bought most of the island. 1 kilometer airstrip, a harbor, a hotel, houses, boats, flights and even a warehouse dedicated to storing cocaine. The site was the centerpiece of the Medellin Cartel's business from 1978 to 1982. In the mid-80s, up to 23,000 kg of cocaine was exported daily.

From a very young age, Pablo's dream is to be the ruler of Colombia. As part of that, Pablo was elected a member of the small movement, the Chamber of Representatives of Colombia, in 1982.

Medellin carter had revenues of about US $70 million per day during the good days of the trade. That means in Indian money about Rs400 crore. Medellin Carter's annual revenue was $26 billion. A rubber band worth Rs1 lakh for 2 weeks would have cost just a bundle. In 1989, Forbes magazine named Escobar one of the 27 billionaires in the world.

Similarly, 80% of the world's cocaine market was in the hands of Medellin Cartel. With the accumulation of excess money, Escobar also bought and collected weapons. His goal was to form an alternative army to fight the Colombian army. Although the main enemy of the United States and Colombia, Pablo was God to the common people of Medellin. Pablo would spend a lot of money on the poor. Pablo tried very hard to preserve the image of Robinhood.

The locals have been rescued from government arrests several times. It was said that Pablo would even know if anyone had thought against him. When he was strong, other drug cartels had to pay Pablo 20-30 percent of the profits. Pablo was extorting money from others for successfully exporting drugs to the United States and as protection money for the authorities.

In 1976, at the age of 26, he married 15-year-old Maria Victoria Henao. They had two children, Manuela Escobar and Sebastián Marroquín.

Pablo began to be known to the world as a notorious criminal. He entered politics at a young age with the desire to become President of Colombia and sought to influence and influence the common people financially. But a section highlighted Pablo's past criminal background and drug dealing, and thus Pablo's popularity declined. But Pablo Columbia's No. 1 enemy is nothing in the drug industry. But there was a word plane crash that shook Columbia's heart deeply.

A domestic passenger flight from the Colombian capital Bogotá to Cali has crashed. 110 were killed live. It was alleged that the bomb had been planted on the flight and that the Escobar was behind it. Pablo committed this heinous atrocity by assassinating his enemy, President César Augusto Gaviria Trujillo. That day, everyone began to fear Pablo, who did not hesitate to kill. There was no shortage of Medellin's for murder.

There were 25,100 murders in 1991 and 27,100 in 1992 in Colombia. Pablo had rewarded his killers with large sums of money for killing officials he did not like. So there was no reduction in the death rate. Pablo killed about 600 police officers.

Escobar and the Colombian government came face to face for trying to assassinate Luis Carlos, who was an obstacle to his political entry. With the passage of the law to extradite captured drug dealers to the United States, all drug lords, including Pablo Escobar, began to fear a little. If you are in prison in Colombia you can get out very easily, because bribes are enough.

But the Colombian government extradite into the United States, Pablo will be in big trouble and the outside world will not see again. Escobar held a conciliatory meeting with the government. The government offered to drop all previous criminal cases if it surrendered. Escobar surrendered to the Colombian authorities in 1991 as the end of a series of attacks under pressure from the authorities and public opinion. Escobar surrendered after the law frozen the extradition of captured suspects to the United States. There was also the accusation that Escobar and other drug dealers had changed the constitution by spending more money for this.

But this was the condition that Escobar put forward to surrender. He will build the prison himself. The prison guard will also be his followers. The government so agreed. Thus Pablo Escobar, the richest drug lord in the history of the world, built his own prison and lived in it.

There was a football court and a lot of luxury facilities like a bar and a waterfall. Despite his imprisonment, Escobar continued to show his criminal nature and actions. The news came again in the media and the government again strongly decided to shift Escobar to jail. So on July 22, 1992, Escobar, who smelled the police move, bravely escaped from his own prison. After Escobar's escape, the Colombian army, along with U.S. officials, launched a massive search to trap Escobar. For this, a trained team called Search Block was formed. For Escobar, this was a huge setback. He hid in many places without standing. The families of those killed by Escobar and other resentful drug cartels formed an alliance against Escobar. The vigilante group was called "Los Pepes", which means "People Persicuted by Pablo Escobar". Cali Cartel, the main enemy of the Medellin cartel, was behind this.

Everyone close to Escobar began to be killed. Los Pepes was written on the side of the dead body. Escobar lost about 300 people, including aides, lawyers and relatives. Most of the items in the Medellin Cartel were thus destroyed. So Escobar, realizing that his empire was slowly collapsing, wife and children of Escobar were safely escorted to a hotel by his messenger. There were also government guards. The authorities kept telling Escobar to surrender. After realizing that Escobar and his wife were talking on the radio, the government decided to track down Escobar. On December 2, 1993, a Colombian electronic surveillance team vehicle passed through a crowded area on Medellin. The team leader was Brigadier Hugo Martinez. They quickly captured the vague conversation. And they recognized that voice. It was the voice of Pablo Escobar, the world's most feared and richest cocaine king, who had been a headache for the government for years. Message passed to search block. Soon the army surrounded the house and entered. There was only one helper with Escobar, who had a large army. When the helper was shot, Escobar fired and went to the roof to escape. Escobar was shot in the leg, abdomen and ear when he jump into roof for escaping. Thus the life of Pablo Escobar, the drug lord, who rose to the pinnacle of wealth, ended at the age of 44 outside a barn.

Pablo Escobar was one of the scariest and richest drug lords in world history.

A series called "Narcos" was released in Netflix, telling the biography of Pablo Escobar.
