The world famous drug baron, a folk hero and a Colombian who has become one of the greatest opponents of the legal order; Pablo Escobar.
Many things have been written and drawn about this famous name. Who is Pablo Escobar? What is the story of life and what did it do throughout life?
Let's look at each other with the difference of betmus.
I arrived in Colombia on December 1, 1949
Pablo Escobar came to the world as the son of a village teacher. Their financial situation was not good. In 44 years of life, he has managed to be a name that will go from zero to the list of the richest people in the world, and will be loved by thousands of enemies.
Stepping into a criminal life by selling tombstones to tourists
Escobar, who started the car robbery in Medellin, stepped into the crime scene. It is also claimed that the tombstones at the graveyards were stolen and sold to tourists in different villages. The stories about Escobar do not really have an account.
Medellin cartel: Escobar enters drug world
Beginning to have a share in the drug trafficking in the Medellin region in the early 1970s, Escobar began naming the field in the future to 'control the world'.
In 1975, he killed the largest drug cartel in Medellin by his own order, the largest of the region.

In the '80s he controlled 80% of the US drug trafficking. The largest drug demand in the world belonged to the United States.
Apart from the US, Escobar has also started selling drugs to countries like Mexico and Puerto Rico. The sales network was expanding and expanding into the world!
So much so that in the future, an airport will be built on an ocean island for the drug transport organization. So much so that it was not only about America, but about being a monopoly of the whole world. It had a connection line extending to Asia.
A Colombian on the Forbes 500 list in 1989
The 80's were the strongest days of Escobar, and in 1989 Escobar found himself in the 7th place on the list of Forbes magazine's richest people.
A stronger man from the state
Escobar has almost become a 'parallel structure' when he lived. When he was arrested, he had a wealth that could make a private prison he wanted, 'I can close the external debtors if the state leaves me'.
There was an interesting relationship between Pablo Escobar and the state. Many Colombian prosecutors, police officers and statesmen, who have been obstructing him while continuing his illegal activities, were killed on his own orders. He was elected to parliament for a term.
Image of a hero in public's eyes
Although Escobar is among the richest in the world, he has managed to build a good bond with the peasantry. Schools have supported Colombia, which has had hospitals, at some point.
Nowadays you can still find Pablo Escobar stickers, wall posters, T-shirts.
He has given millions of dollars to them through his men, and he has a stronger and more sincere position in his eyes than the state. But he will lose this support towards the end of his life.
Escobar's zoological garden
Escobar has also built a personal zoo in the garden of his house. This zoo was welcomed with surprise when it was hit by the house police.
As a matter of fact, security officers who can not decide what to do with 'hippo' that are not in the region have released them. Today, the hippo still lives in wetlands in the region. The state is trying to control the number of hippopotamus.
The wild hippo in Colombia is the second largest community outside Africa.
Remember the first drug shipment
Pablo Escobar has put it as a souvenir in front of his flight home where he made his first drug shipment.
If Corleone invites you to dinner, you will go
In the prison, known as La Cathedral, which he built and protected by his men, he made a match for the national team of Colombia to join the 1994 World Cup.
The double is said to be playing in the match itself. Colombian footballers then visited him in prison. The turn was excommunicated when it became apparent that Higuita (the interesting long-haired goalie who saved an amazing goal with his heels) visited Escobar.
After that, the old Besiktas Oscar Cordoba was going to pass.
When escobar's invasion of the national team emerged, his defense was as follows; 'If Corleone invites you to dinner, you go'
Two million dollars to burn her daughter
According to her son, when the polystyrene was hiding, at the mountain house girl's chest, Escobar burned 2 million (in some sources $ 3 million) of cash money.
Amazing details about Escobar's fortune

The war against the state
147 policemen were killed in Colombia after Pablo Escobar, who had almost waged a war against the United States and Colombia during his search, said he would pay $ 1,000 for every police killed and $ 30,000 for the US.
110 plane deaths
When he learned that he would be transferred to another prison, he put a bomb on the plane where a politician who helped him in every way would travel. Cesar Gaviria is not even on the plane. Boeing 727 plane bomb exploded and 110 people were killed .
He's starting to lose public support.
Public support for Escobar has weakened as a result of events in which the public has been seriously hurt in the period when the action against the state, especially the aircraft fiasco, is taking place.
At that time, a revenge organization named 'relatives of those killed by Escobar', organized by the US and Colombian government, was also established.
End of long phone call with son caught
Pablo Escobar was a very fond of the family. While Escobar was hiding in Medellin, the units acting with the support of the US and the Colombian government almost hunted all of their relatives and family. Concerned about the arrest of his children, Escobar was discovered after his phone interview with his son, although he knew his place was being tried to be identified and the operation started.
Pablo Escobar was murdered after the US and Colombia joint operation.
The Colombian government asked for US support when it could not catch Pablo Escobar. Private security units from the United States and Colombian forces organized the operation after Escobar's location was identified.
Escobar was shot dead while escaping on the roof. This pose has not been erased from memory for a long time in Colombia. At the Police Museum, the clothes still on display when they were killed that day are on display.
