Pablo Escobar & The Birth of the Paraco
Monday, 29 August, 2022

In this two part episode of Crime & Politics: Colombia, I discuss one of the most famous drug traffickers and organized crime figures of all time: Pablo Escobar Gaviria. Many facets of Pablo´s life are well known, such as his massive wealth, temper and his war against the Colombian state and people, but what is less known is the war he waged WITH the state, against the Colombian people. In part one of Crime & Politics; Colombia, I discuss the Bogotazo, La Violencia, the societal conditions that lead to the state working with Pablo, many of which had endured for decades and the players the state found in these places.
