About this listen

In this episode, Lucas and Luna delve into the life and reign of Pablo Escobar, from his humble beginnings in Rionegro to becoming the head of the Medellín Cartel. They explore his rise through contraband and cocaine trafficking, his brutal tactics including 'plata o plomo', and his political ambitions that led to the construction of a luxury prison, La Catedral. The conversation covers key events like the 1984 assassination of Justice Minister Rodrigo Lara Bonilla, the Palace of Justice siege in 1985, and the manhunt led by the Search Bloc after Escobar's escape. Lucas discusses the role of Los Pepes, the alliance between Cali Cartel and Colombian authorities, and the final shootout on a rooftop in Medellín on December 2, 1993. The episode ends with a reflection on Escobar's legacy and the enduring impact of narco-violence on Colombia.
