Some may say that Pablo Escobar helped his country Columbia greatly by spreading his illegitimate wealth across Columbia but the amount of terror and killing he spread across the western hemisphere far outweighed the money he put into the less fortunate communities. December 1, 1949, Rionegro, Colombia, Escobar was born. His family was extremely poor, for example one time he and his brother Roberto were sent home from school because they were unable to buy shoes. From an early age, Escobar had possessed a unique drive and ambition to raise himself up from his humble beginnings. As a boy, he told his friends and family that when he grew up, he wanted to become president of Colombia. Yet as he grew older he realized his path to wealth and legitimacy

In the last decades, narco trafficking and organized crime had emerged as the main security threats in Latin America. Deviant globalization increase their power by establishing connections with similar organizations in other parts of the world, like cocaine distribution networks, for example. This perceived danger increases the pressure on the governments for effective solutions, and some of them consider that these problems had overwhelmed the capabilities of the local police. Consequently, the intervention of military forces would be necessary to secure the stability of the countries. However, the use of force as the only solution is the outcome of a misunderstanding of the root causes that generates them. This paper presents the research for a general pattern in the region that is helpful to understand how the civil society perceives the failures of governance and how the networks of illegal activities exploit this perception.

to test their fate, another quickly emerging option was to join the underground drug trafficking market. The changing climate in the drug trafficking world did not go without having any effect on the corridos, of course.

Pablo started his criminal career when he was in school by staling tombstones and selling then to a person in panama. In the 1970s he moves to the cocaine business, he started to make such a big empire of drug and cocaine which became know the Medellin cartel. By the 1980s everybody started to know about Pablo Escobar worldwide as el cartel de medallin. El cartel de medallin was in charge to controlled big portion of the drugs that was going into the United Stated, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic he also has cocaine coming from Peru and Bolivia because the coca from Colombia was initially of substandard quality. Pablo came from stealing to sell drug and also to kill people for example “Pablo was responsible for the murder of Colombia presidential candidate Luis Carlos Galan, one of the three assassinated candidates who were all competing in the same election, as well as the bombing of Avianca flight 203 and the Das building bombing in Bogota in 1989. The cartel de Medellin was also involved in a deadly drug war with its primary rival, the cartel de Cali, from most of existence” while Pablo was committed crime by selling drug killing people the Forbes magazine estimated Pablo to the seventh- richest man in the world it was so crazy how the medellin cartel was making up to $ 30 billion annually and controlling the 80 percent of the global cocaine market. Even though Pablo was a criminal and an any of the United States and Colombia many people in Medellin was looking at him like if he was a hero he was helping the poor community and also he was there sponsoring little league football (soccer) also the Atletico National. He not only made football fields and multisport he also was responsible for the construction of many churches in Medellin. Pablo was very smart because he was committed s lot of crime but was had I very good back gourd I think he knew he was

The U.S decided to work with the Colombian government to establish an extradition treaty between the countries in 1979 (United States Congress ). This treaty would allow the U.S to extradite the cartel traffickers for a trial in the U.S. This caused Pablo to attack the government and this ultimately caused the Medellin cartel’s downfall. In the early 1990’s the cartel’s leaders were apprehended and the leader Pablo Escobar was killed in a firefight after having to run for his life. (PBS2).

During the early 1990’s Colombia being one of the biggest exporters of narcotics in history, led by Pablo Escobar, who had a wide range of organized crime affiliations throughout Latin America. Pablo Escobar was a Colombian drug lord and he smuggled narcotics all the way to South Florida as when authorities tried to capture him. One of Pablo Escobar’s most important alliances was that of the Mexican-based traffickers. Escobar knew that this was an important trade route because of its geography and how it would be easier to smuggle the narcotics into the United States. This allowed a smuggling partnership between both countries and Mexico was to eventually lead their own drug based trafficking system with the help of Pablo Escobar. From the distributed drugs, cartels would take a certain amount of profit, and would use that money to bribe Mexican officials. By bribing Mexican officials it was insured that if smugglers were to be arrested they would either be let go, the case would be dropped or taking action against a rival smuggling group by giving away information about the rival’s plan to carry

In this research paper I will discuss one transnational crime, and compare the contrast of two nations for their definition of the crime rate, and tools used to measure the crime. I will give each country’s legal tradition and their major influences on crime definition, rate, and measurement. In this assignment I will analyze the extent to which crime statistics collected in different nations can adequately be compared.

The Cali Cartel was less flashy with their money compared to other cartels at the time and were more about the business side of drug trafficking. They would ship mostly to Europe and Asia, where it was less likely to get caught. They did not get along with the other cartels around and would give information about them to the police to get themselves out of trouble. The Cali Cartel had competitions against the Medellin Cartel, another cartel from Colombia, especially Pablo Escobar, the leader of the Medellin Cartel. It got very violent between the two cartels and killings often occurred. The Cali Cartel started a group called People Against Pablo Escobar or PEPES, specifically to threaten him,” The Cali cartel began to attack the Medellin cartel -- particularly Pablo Escobar -- as their competition became more and more violent”(“The Colombian Cartels” 1). They would inform the police of his whereabouts, which ended up getting him caught and eventually put in jail. The Cali Cartel then took over the cocaine business until they all got caught and jailed. Most of the cartel sat for ten to fifteen

He helped the people with necessities by building roads, soccer fields, and also a neighborhood called Pablo Escobar which is why the poor and his family saw him as a role model. Pablo’s mom who was a rural teacher even saw him as a saint sent from god. Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria would choose his family over anything, even if it involved death. Although he was a great man to the poor and his family these people didn’t actually see the harm he was causing them. It is absurd how the Colombian society could still see this monster as a hero who blew up cars, buildings, and planes without remorse of killing innocent civilians who interposed in this cruelly

Pablo Escobar was important because over his lifetime, he used his power to develop Colombia into a narco-state for the betterment of the people. First, Pablo was a very influential man as well as an expert cocaine dealer, accumulating large amounts of money and changing the drug dealing game. Pablo changed the legal drug system of many countries and also over his lifetime, and he made over $4 billion off of cocaine dealing in which he funded for Colombia (“Pablo Escobar”). This suggests that if Pablo didn’t deal drugs, the systems of countries drug imports and exports would be sub-par and challenged by other drug dealers; like El Chapo. Secondly, Escobar was a very powerful man in the narcotic business as well as his home country of Colombia.

What is the first thing that comes into your mind when you hear of the region Latin America? Poverty, violence, drugs? Latin America is a major region where drugs are generated, imported, and exported. The general stereotype with regards to Latin America is that the region is drug infested due to the history of use, the problems regarding drug trafficking, and the continued statistics proving the ongoing use of drugs. Despite the fact that not every country in Latin America fits in this mold, history and data supports this impression.

He used needed people to become the Colombian congress. This happened during 1982 when he got elected to be an alternative in the House of Representatives. He used the politics to help advance himself in the Colombian society. Since drug traffickers discovered they had many limitations when it came to being influential in the Colombian society Escobar decided to run for congress. Politicians in Colombia was seen as (Political Power circles) beyond money, or “plata o Plomo philosophy which translated to silver or lead but to the people of Colombia it meant ether you took Escobar’s bribe or dealt with his wrath which usually meant torture or death. Escobar got into politics from advice of his one friend Alberto Santafimio Botero but after being elected Pablo was attacked by members in his own party and forced to resign his seat is disgrace. After seeing Pablo getting into politics to extend his power when it came to drug trafficking US Drug Administration Agency, US Government, Interpol and other Police International Agencies. The Colombian government had to chase to capture him. Later after resigning Pablo used his skills that he learned when being a politician to fight off the Extradition law to fight off the Colombian congress. The extradition law is a law that all the Colombian drug traffickers feared they would rather die in their homes in Colombia then rot In any jail cell in the United States of America. “The Extradition law is the United States is the formal process by which fugitive found in the United States is surrendered to another country or state for trial or punishment”. Colombia started changing up there acts after the United States of America was giving “short sentences” to drug dealers. So they created an anti drug police squad which was able to stop many crime bosses and many drug transports. This made Pablo Escobar very angry and waged a war against the law. He killed

Let’s start from the beginning in the story about “El Pablo Escobar”, who became the king of coke. First of all, Pablo Escobar was from Colombia, Antioquia and born in 1949. Before his time as a drug lord and a murderous criminal, who organized one of the biggest drug trades in the world.

But he was raised up in the harsh time of economy, where people protested, and fought with one another. Escobar seen many deaths growing up, people beating each other up, protesting for better future for Colombia, and riots where hundreds of people who would fight. Where it all began to create a person like

The King of Cocaine, Pablo Escobar, was a Colombian drug lord who created the Medellin Cartel and was once one of Forbes’ Magazines wealthiest people (Levinthal, 2012). Pablo Escobar was born in 1949 in Colombia to a father was a peasant farmer and mother who was a school teacher (Thompson, 1996). His aspirations for a large life began when he was young and he dreamed of becoming the president of Columbia. However things changed when he realized that being legitimately wealthy would require him to be a criminal. Prior to being involved in drugs and smuggling, Pablo was a petty street thief and would steal cars (Jenish, & Wirpsa, 1993). As his criminal activity grew he would gain a name for himself on the streets that would ultimately prepare
