Pablo Escobar Bio: Early Life, Parents, and Education

Born to a farmer, Abel de Jesús Dari Escobar Echeverri and his wife Hemilda de Los Dolores Gaviria; he was third of seven siblings. He grew up in Medellín, and attended the Universidad Autónoma Latinoamericana of Medellín, but never finished high school as he had already begun his notorious way of life, first selling counterfeit high school diplomas, and later joining with Oscar Benel Aguirre selling cars, fake lottery tickets, contraband cigarettes, and once he met Alvaro Prieto, drugs too, starting what became a huge business.

Drug Dealer

He started distributing cocaine by planes from Colombia through Panama to the US in 1975, and in the next 15 years came to dominate the drug-trafficking business. He slowly expanded his business as he bought 15 bigger planes, which were all used for drug smuggling into the US. The first problems with police occurred the next year when he was caught bringing 18 pounds (39kg) of white paste from Ecuador, but he managed to evade conviction after the charges were dropped, then ordered the murder of the two officers who went against him.

Rise to Prominence

The smuggling business was thriving as the demand for cocaine in the US skyrocketed, and through his many connections he organised new shipping routes into the country. From 1978 to 1982 Pablo’s profits amounted to more than $70 million per day, which in cocaine meant that the Medellin cartel smuggled 15 tons of cocaine into the USA. During this time, on his own Pablo became a billionaire, and bought a number of luxury estates, on which his wife enjoyed life. Also, he and co-founder of the cartel Carlos Lehder bought an island in the Bahamas, in order to more easily ship into the US. In 1982 he had the nerve to venture into politics, becoming member of the Chamber of Representatives of Columbia, but would soon be labeled as the enemy of the government, although a hero to the working class of Colombia, due to his helping hand to the poor, obtaining status of a Robin Hood, but as the number of murders increased in the state, and all clues led to Pablo, many people wanted his death.

Pablo Escobar’s Demise

He started confronting government and its decisions in the second half of the ‘80s; the most particular event from these times was the storming of the Colombian Supreme Court, for which he paid left-wing guerrillas known as M-19. Later, with the death of Luis Carlos Galan, the new president of Colombia, Cesar Gaviria, turned against Pablo and his illegal actions completely. Soon Escobar received an offer from Cesar’s administration to surrender, and cease all the illegal operations in exchange for a reduced sentence.

The government managed to convince Pablo to surrender, and just before his imprisonment, extradition of criminals between Colombia and USA became prohibited through the new Colombian Constitution of 1991. He was sent to the prison known as La Catedral, which became his private luxurious confinement, consisting of a football field, bar, jacuzzi, and anything else Pablo desired. Although imprisoned, Pablo continued his illegal activities from within the walls thanks to his many connections, so the government was obliged to move him to a more secure jail.

His connections proved useful once again; he learned about the police and government plan to move him to a different prison, and planned his own to escape, successfully, but spent the rest of his life fleeing police. USA special unit force comprised of SEAL Team Six, Delta Force, and Centra Spike joined the search for Escobar, with the help of Colombia’s police task force Search Bloc, plus a group of mercenaries consisting of Escobar’s enemies named Los Pepes. 16 months following his escape from La Catedral, Pablo was tracked down. Just a day after his 44th birthday, Pablo spoke with his son Sebastian over a telephone which was wired, and members of the Colombian electronic surveillance team, led by Brigadier Hugo Martinez learned Pablo’s whereabouts and the Search Bloc team was sent to a location in Los Olivos, a neighborhood of Medellin. At first, Pablo was wounded but managed to escape to the roofs and ran into a back street, but was shot through his ear.by Columbian National Police.

Pablo Escobar’s Grave

Pablo was buried at Cemetario Jardines Montesacro in Itagüí, just south of Medellín, where Escobar grew up. Entombed next to his family, his funeral was visited by more than 25,000 people, many Medellin’s working class and poor people, to whom he is still somewhat of a saint, despite his many crimes, as he would build homes and aid them financially throughout his years of dominance in Colombia.

Pablo Escobar in the Media

The most notorious drug lord that ever lived has been showcased in books, television series, and films. Numerous media projects had success on account of Pablo’s life, and  although often labeled as fiction, all are based on real life. Some of the books that became bestsellers include “Escobar” (2010), written by his brother, Roberto Escobar, then “Killing Pablo: The Hunt for the World’s Greatest Outlaw” in 2001, by Mark Bowden, “Pablo Escobar: My Father” in 2016, and “Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar”, written by Virginia Vallejo in 2017, who was his mistress from 1983 to 1987.

Furthermore, a television series produced by Netflix, entitled “Narcos” tells the story of Pablo’s life and criminal activities.

Pablo Escobar Wealth

At his prime, this drug lord was a billionaire; with $70 million worth of cocaine smuggled to the US daily, so Pablo’s wealth was increasing at a fast pace. In addition to an island bought in the Bahamas, he bought numerous lavish properties, including the most prominent one Hacienda Nápoles, which had a complete zoo in its border, holding elephants, hippopotamuses, giraffes and exotic birds. He owned a 6500 square foot, waterfront mansion situated in Miami Beach, Florida, and was also the owner of a massive Caribbean getaway on Isla Grande, which over the years has degenerated and is now inhabited with wild animals. However, when it was operational, it contained a mansion, secured by reinforced windows, a large swimming pool, helicopter landing pad, among other things needed for life. His house in the city of Medellin will be torn down in early 2019. The government is still to decide how it will decorate the free space after its demolition.
