The Life and Death of Pablo Escobar: A Family Divided by Fear
Rumblings of chaos reverberated through Colombia as a family stood out on the tarmac of Bogotá airport. They were not just any family; they were the Escobars, closely linked to Pablo Escobar, the infamous "Cocaine Godfather" and the most wanted criminal in the world. Their hopes to seek refuge in Germany were dashed as German authorities promptly turned them back, leading them to an uncertain fate. The family consisted of Juan Pablo, the son, his younger sister Manuela, and their mother, Maria Victoria, Pablo Escobar’s wife. Exhausted and frightened, they bore the weight of their father's notorious legacy, one that reduced him from terror of Colombia to a hunted fugitive.
