The video discusses the life and controversial actions of Pablo Escobar, a notorious Colombian drug trafficker and leader of the Medellín cartel. Escobar was one of the most wanted men in the world, particularly in the United States, where he was offered a large bounty for his capture. Despite this, he managed to live a luxurious life and even took a controversial photo in front of the White House during this time.
Escobar's photo, taken in 1981, shows him standing in front of the White House with his young son, Juan Pablo Escobar. The photo was taken by his wife, Victoria Henao Vallejos, during a trip to the United States. Escobar's presence at the White House, the seat of the US government, was seen as a direct challenge to the American authorities.
The video also mentions that Escobar had several places to spend his holidays in the United States and was likely able to travel there under a fake passport. He was known to visit places such as Disney, the White House, and the FBI headquarters during these trips.
Escobar was involved in numerous business activities in the US, including buying properties in Miami and supervising his drug operations there. Despite his high-profile status as a wanted man, he was able to enter and leave the US without being detected.
Escobar's wealth was legendary, and he used it to build hospitals, churches, parks, schools, and even a zoo in Colombia. He was also known for his extravagant lifestyle, owning a collection of expensive cars, motorcycles, and even two helicopter jets.
In 1991, Escobar agreed to turn himself in to the Colombian government in exchange for a luxury prison built on his own land, known as "La Catedral". However, he was eventually caught in 1993 while trying to escape from this prison.
