Apparently, this action split up the Medellin cartel and created the enemies that would act as the muscle in Pablo’s take-down. They funded and headed the people that didn’t conform to laws in their pursuit: Los PEPES and British mercenaries.Īccording to this “Information paper on Los PEPES,” PEPES fittingly stands for “People Persecuted by Pablo Escobar.” They became a paramilitary group after Pablo murdered the Moncada and Galeano brothers. But in short, they were former members of the Medellin cartel who didn’t like that Pablo ruled like a monarch.

It’s easy to expect your enemies to stab you in the back, but not your own flesh and blood.Īnd Pablo surely accumulated a lot of enemies during his reign. We agree with Sebastián, we wish it had been a story about family values as well.

Photo by via Twitter His Brother’s InvolvementĪccording to the Los Angeles Times and Business Insider, five different entities had to come together to take Pablo Escobar down: Pablo’s brother, the Cali cartel, Los PEPES and both the Colombian and U.S. However, this situation shows that the monster mask Pablo wore for his enemies and the people who simply stood in his way was different from the man that provided for the poor and doted on his family. Some say she had pneumonia, and others say it was to prevent that occurrence. Apparently, when Pablo and his family were hiding in a cave away from his cartel and governmental pursuers, he burned around 20 million dollars to keep his daughter from getting cold.
