Intro

Many authors have tried to dissect Pablos character, with each only providing a few pieces of the puzzle. The first Escobar book I wrote was part of a series exposing the War on Drugs. Since its publication, Ive received requests to write his biography in more detail and without the War on Drugs politics. This new series of books containing approximately 1,000 pages is my response.

After doing a talk about Pablo in London, I was approached by a Colombian. She said that there was far more information available about him in the Spanish-speaking world. On a mission, I ended up getting hundreds of thousands of words translated, which transformed my understanding of his story. Previously, I had viewed him through the filters of the English-speaking world and many of those authors had an agenda such as portraying certain people or government agencies in particular ways.

This book also includes everything I have learned about El Patrn while researching information for my books on the Cali Cartel and Barry Seal. Since the explosion of interest in Pablo, far more up-to-date information has become available thanks to those closest to him who later became authors, including his ex-lover and TV celebrity, Virginia Vallejo ( Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar ); his son, Juan Pablo ( Pablo Escobar: My Father ); and his former hit man, Popeye ( The True Life of Pablo Escobar and Surviving Pablo Escobar ) who was released and now has a popular YouTube channel. Two of the men chiefly responsible for his demise, Don Berna ( Killing the Boss ) and Carlos Castao ( My Confession ), also published books about their roles, which contradicted the official story of the police killing Pablo. In Secret ( En Secreto ) by the journalist Germn Castro Caycedo and The Words of Pablo ( La Parbola de Pablo ) by Alonso Salazar also contain lots of information.

These combined accounts helped to revise my earlier versions of the big stories such as the absence of Los Pepes at Pablos death, and the role of the state in the murder of the presidential candidate Galn, which had largely been overlooked. In 2017, Pablos nemesis, General Maza, was sentenced to thirty years for conspiring to murder Galn, which had been squarely blamed on Pablo by most authors. This book also contains stories untold in the English-speaking world. It is my hope that I have provided the most detailed and up-to-date account.

Chapter 1
Shootout

Preparing for war, Pablo held a meeting in a farmhouse for seventy people, ranging from traffickers to priests, who arrived with 200 bodyguards. After warning about the humiliation of extradition and Colombian citizens rotting away in US prisons, he proposed the formation of an army to repel the government forces from Medelln. The city would be divided into zones, each protected by a different group of troops. Carlos Lehder the Medelln Cartel leader whose power was declining was assigned to oversee jungle operations and to maintain relations with the guerrillas.

After the meeting, a Mercedes-Benz arrived at the farmhouse after midnight. A well-dressed woman emerged and knocked on the door. I have flowers for Dr Hernandez.

Youre at the wrong address, said Roberto, who warned his brother that he had never seen anyone in the flower delivery business arrive in a Mercedes-Benz. Pablo was unconcerned. Roberto instructed the men to shoot in the air if any strangers arrived.

Around 2 AM, a burst of gunfire alerted the brothers and their cousin, Gustavo, who dashed from the rear of the farmhouse. With shots whizzing by them, a bullet grazed Robertos leg and pieces of brick ricocheted off his face. With blood streaming down his skin, he ran for his life.

Seven-year-old Juan Pablo awoke to a gun thrust into his stomach and asked, Wheres my father? Holding Pablos white poncho, a policeman said that Pablo had dropped it while escaping.

Fleeing from the scene, the bosses returned fire, hoping to halt their pursuers. Spotting a bodyguard returning in a car, they waved at him to pull over and jumped inside.

Go! Go! Go! yelled the men as the car screeched away.

Pablo learned that a trafficker from Cali who had attended the meeting had tipped off the authorities, hoping for a guarantee against extradition. The colonel in charge of the raid had been paid $50,000 a month by Pablo, who sent him a message: Now you are against me and you know what I think about that.

Perhaps things werent as safe in Colombia as Pablo had thought. He went everywhere with bodyguards, moved around frequently and took extra precautions. His problems multiplied after ten of the co-conspirators in Lara Bonillas assassination were arrested. Six, including Pinina, escaped and joined Pablo in hiding. On top of federal charges for importing cocaine into Florida, Pablo was indicted in Colombia for Laras murder.

Outside a courthouse, one of Pablos men approached Tulio, the judge who had indicted him for Laras murder. Ask for whatever you want, he said, offering a bribe for a dismissal of the charges, and theyll put it wherever you want it, in Colombia or outside the country Then youll be able to relax. Neither your life nor the lives of your family will be in danger. Tulio declined, so Pablo began to plot his assassination.
