Pablo Escobar was a criminal who spared no one and nothing for a lot of money. The only intangible value for the drug dealer was his family.
Pablo Escobar is one of the most famous and cruel criminals in history. He made a lot of money selling cocaine. At the end of the last century, experts estimated the state of the drug lord about $ 3 billion.
Meet Mary
Pablo was born into an ordinary poor family. His parents were a teacher and a farmer. In his teenage years, the guy spent all the time in the poor neighborhoods of Rionegro (Colombia). These areas were a real hotbed of crime. Pablo began his activity with the theft of tombstones, which he cleaned and resold.
At 22, Escobar, along with his comrades, kidnapped a wealthy businessman and hoped to get a ransom for him. But the young criminal failed to earn money on this business. The kidnappers killed their captive. Pablo immediately openly said that he was involved in the crime. The poor in his city turned the rich man’s funeral into a celebration, and Escobar earned their respect and recognition.
After the first crime, Pablo began to openly rob the rich and build on the money received the simplest housing for the poor. His popularity grew every day. Surrounded by the future drug lord and young ladies. One of them lingered next to Escobar the longest.
Pablo himself could not explain how the young beauty Maria was in his company. At the time of the wedding, the girl was only 15 years old, and lovers began dating even earlier.
Business development
In the spring of 76, 27-year-old Pablo and 15-year-old Maria officially got married. A year later, their firstborn, Juan, was born, and later - the daughter of Manuel. At this time, Escobar was actively engaged in the development of his drug business throughout South America. He personally began sending drugs to the United States. No other person could ship cocaine outside of Colombia. Everyone had to pay huge taxes to Pablo. Only in this case could the next drug dealer save his life and be sure that the next batch of his goods would be delivered to the right place.
Maria Victoria Vallejo was always with her husband. The girl became a devoted and faithful wife for the drug lord. People to this day with horror recall Pablo's atrocities, his greed and cruelty. Maria also knew about everything that her husband did, but this did not frighten the girl. Later, familiar families in their memoirs noted that Vallejo loved her husband without a memory. She supported Escobar in everything that he did not.
Pablo, even after marriage, remained a great lover of women. The drug lord had a huge number of short novels. He simply chose new girls for himself and did everything to make them his companions for at least a few days. Millions of dollars in your pocket helped with that. It is interesting that the wife was aware of her husband’s weaknesses, but jealousy did not spoil their relationship. Maria calmly took Pablo's adventures to the side and waited humbly for him at home.
Surprisingly, those around described Escobar as a loving and caring family man. His wife and children were his main value. The heirs remembered his father exclusively as a gentle and kind person. For example, once, hiding from persecution in the mountains to warm his daughter and feed his wife and son, Pablo burned about $ 2 million.
It was love for the family that ultimately accelerated the death of the criminal. Escobar, who in 1993 diligently hid from the police, tried not to call his wife and children. But after his 44th birthday, he not only contacted his son, but also talked to him for more than 5 minutes. This was enough for the police to determine the location of the drug king. As a result, Pablo was made up.
