Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria was a recognized Colombian narcoterrorist, criminal, politician and businessman, founder and top leader of the Medellín Cartel.

Born from a peasant family, Escobar demonstrated business skills from an early age. He began his criminal life in the late sixties in smuggling, and in the early eighties, he became involved in the production and marketing of marijuana and cocaine abroad.

After forming alliances with Gonzalo Rodríguez Gacha, Carlos Lehder and Jorge Luis Ochoa, Escobar founded the Medellín Cartel, an organization that, at its peak, monopolized the cocaine business from its production to its consumption, controlling more than 80% of world production of said drug and 75% of its illicit market in the United States.

During this decade he managed to consolidate his criminal empire, making him the most powerful man of the Colombian mafia, accumulating an immense fortune, which was around 25,000 to 30 billion dollars, thus establishing him as one of the richest men of the world according to Forbes magazine for seven consecutive years.

To excuse his immeasurable capital, at the beginning of the eighties Escobar tried to polish his image through the realization of charities for the unprotected and with a brief incursion into politics, occupying a seat as a representative to the chamber in the National Congress in 1982. However, in 1983, after several publications of the newspaper El Espectador and with the direct accusation of Justice Minister Rodrigo Lara Bonilla, he lost his seat and was publicly accused of his illegal business. Months later, Lara Bonilla and Guillermo Cano, director of El Espectador, are killed on Escobar's orders.

By 1985, drug trafficking was already booming and also the posters present in Colombia, which unleashed a war against the government. Head in question at the time, Belisario Betancur, set out to fight it with the use of extradition of drug traffickers to the United States.

After two attempts at negotiation and multiple kidnappings and selective murders of judges and public officials, in 1989, the Medellín Cartel with Escobar in command declared total war against the State, organized and financed an extensive network of hit men, faithful to their command , who murdered key personalities for the national institutionality and perpetrated indiscriminate terrorist acts with the use of car bombs in the main cities of the country that destabilized it, put the authorities "on their knees," and that made him the most wanted criminal at the beginning of the nineties.

He was responsible for the murder of 657 police officers between 1989 and 1993 and fierce clashes against the Cali Cartel, the paramilitaries of Magdalena Medio and finally Los Pepes.

After the consummation of the National Constituent Assembly in 1991, which gave Colombia a new constitution and a ban on the extradition of nationals to the United States, Escobar decided to submit to justice on condition of being held in La Catedral, an ostentatious jail located on its grounds.

After proving that he was still criminalizing behind bars, the Government wanted to capture him, so Escobar fled, easily leaving the back of the prison, which meant one of the most shameful episodes for the country's prison authority .

After his escape, the government formed the so-called Search Block to recapture it and after seventeen months of intense tracking, he was shot on a roof of an exclusive sector of Medellín at 44 years of age.
