A GLOOMY FORECAST Pablo Escobar was a wanted man, in his own country (Colombia) and elsewhere. Sometimes the police would catch him, but he never stayed behind bars very long. This image depicts an Escobar "mug shot" from the Medellin police. By the time George (this link is a video interview with Johnny Depp) was the Medellin Cartel's American contact, Pablo Escobar was considered the cartel's first among equals. George's first meeting with Escobar, in 1978, was eventful. He was astonished by the drug lord's spread. It included Arabian horses, hippos, a miniature bull ring, landing strip, Huey 50 helicopter, a radio transmitter powerful enough to reach the United States. And men with guns. Everywhere. As George told Bruce Porter: He said everything was protected here, the police were taken care of, that they wouldn't dare come near the place. They really didn't have a choice. They earned almost nothing for pay, and here they were asked, "Do you want to make $250,000 and have a ranch for your family?" And if they didn't want that, it was, "Do you want to be dead?" (Blow, page 222) Death occurred at Pablo's ranch.

  • “Origin of the Medellin Cartel and Current Influences” By
    UNIDAD EDUCATIVA PARTICULAR JAVIER BACHILLERATO GENERAL UNIFICADO “ORIGIN OF THE MEDELLIN CARTEL AND CURRENT INFLUENCES” BY: Sebastian Andrade ADVISOR: Ms. Mario Cadena 3rd BGU - Section: B 2017 – 2018 GRATITUDE First I want to thank God that I feel that he has guided me throughout my life and has helped me in the most difficult moments, I also want to thank my parents who are undoubtedly the most important thing in my life and have always supported me in all decisions that I have made. People who have also made an impact on me, are my teachers, I thank them for giving me their knowledge and teachings that have served me throughout my life, thanks to their guidance I was able to achieve several goals, including the realization of my monograph. i SUMMARY The Medellin Cartel was a group led by Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria and made up of several internationally recognized drug traffickers. This group was well known by society as the top seller of drugs of that time, especially cocaine. His maximum leader, in this case Pablo Escobar, tried for a while to get involved in politics and pretended to be a good person with the people, for example, he gave money to the poor, he built many houses for a whole town and offered an illegal work to adolescents, but they accepted it even though they had to kill people because it was the only way to support their families. Colombia lived a hell under the command of Pablo Escobar, because by the simple fact that they did not obey him, he sent assassins to kill thousands of innocent people, he also carried out several bomb attacks in many cities, he was looking for the government to obey him, that the country was surrendered at his feet and that the police are frightened and didn’t capture him.

  • University Institute of Lisbon Master of International Studies
    ISCTE – UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF LISBON MASTER OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES The Medellín and the Cali Cartel The Effects of the Drug Industry on the State Sovereignty Scientific Cooridnator: Graduate: Filipe Vasconcelos Romão Nóra-Zsuzsa Nagy Lisbon, Portugal 2018 Abstract The illegal drug industry had dramatic impact on Colombia's development and sovereignty. In no other country has the illegal drug industry had such dramatic social, political, and economic effects. This research paper provides a theoretical framework that is applied in the Colombian context analysing the consequences caused to the Colombian state, and concludes that it overall impact has been extremely negative. It studies the emergence and development of the drug cartels, their complex operations and their participation in the industry. The size of the illegal industry and its economic effects are also examined and its effects on the political system analysed. To form a comprehensive picture about the impact of the drug trade, other effects are also taken into account such as the increasing corruption, violence, illicit funding, organized crime and their connection with the state and the government. Also, the paper explores the foreign policies of the Unite States applied in Colombia, and focuses on the US involvement in Colombia‟s national affairs through the policy known as “war on drugs” and the Extradition Treaty, underlying the consequent erosion of the state sovereignty by their interference. The thesis emphasizes the strategies adopted by the United States in order to combat the illegal drug imports, as well as their counter insurgency assistance to the Colombian government. The project ends with a discussion of the evolution of government policies and social attitudes toward the industry that highlights the roots of the problem, and underlines why the drug industry still thrives today.
