The decryption dog talked to the audience about the "king of kings in the drug world", and the history of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar's career from "street slip". After he made his fortune, although he was ostensibly keen on charity, attracted the people to call him a "great benevolent man", and almost became president, behind the scenes, he often assassinated high-ranking government officials who did not listen to him and wanted to arrest him.
Pablo Escobar
Pablo's criminal acts have reached such a point, why doesn't the Colombian government eliminate Pablo's drug cartel? In fact, since 1984, the state's top brass has been arresting him, and even offered hundreds of thousands of dollars in high bounties. But because the police and the army had become "walking dead" under Pablo's "money bullets" and were unwilling and afraid to interfere with his drug activities, he never got caught. Moreover, many politicians in the country have accepted political donations from drug cartels, and even the "left" guerrillas in Colombia have "played a debate game" over whether to accept his donations, and those who think they should accept them have won. In return, in November 1985, a commando team of the "left" occupied the Colombian capital's Ministry of Justice, destroyed all drug-related documents and killed 11 of the 24 judges of the Colombian Supreme Court. Someone wrote a letter of complaint about Pablo under his real name, but was immediately dismissed on the grounds that he was mentally ill. With Pablo's erosion of the country, the city of Medellín became the "Capital of Murder", with a murder rate as high as an average of one homicide in two days. And these things the reporter does not dare to report at all, and whoever dares to report will be killed. The president of Colombia's largest newspaper was frightened into riding in a bulletproof car every day, because two of the presidents of the newspaper had already been assassinated. In 1987, the president of the Colombian Supreme Court resigned and "ran away" and stopped doing it! The successor began by saying, "We are all under threat, but I am not afraid." However, after only 5 days, he suddenly resigned and stopped working. The U.S. treaty on the extradition of drug traffickers was also forced to be suspended that year.

In August 1989, Pablo assassinated Colombia's presidential candidate, Garland. Because Garland said that after he came to power, he would use thunder to ban drugs. In September, the anti-drug mayor of Medellín was also assassinated, and the newly inaugurated minister of justice was forced to resign. This series of assassinations completely infuriated the Colombian government, which strictly selected the elite of several thousand special forces to form anti-drug units, and also imposed martial law throughout the country, closed all airports and ports for siege and annihilation, severely arrested drug traffickers, and raided the industries of drug cartels. The treaty with the United States on the extradition of drug traffickers was reinstated. Pablo was also quite ruthless and immediately publicly declared war on the Colombian government. Drug dealers declaring war on the government is also big news. Moreover, Pablo did not shout slogans, and over the next 3 months, he directed his men to create more than 100 bomb attacks, killing and injuring countless people. He even wanted to explode and assassinate other presidential candidates. Pablo's men found a poor guy and tricked him into saying he could take $1 million if he secretly recorded someone else's speech on the plane the candidate was on. After getting on the plane, the young guy pressed the recording button slightly nervously, and the plane was destroyed in an instant, 101 passengers and 6 crew members did not survive, and the wreckage of the plane even killed 3 farmers. However, the candidate was stopped unharmed before boarding the plane.

However, Colombia's anti-drug forces are not idle, and they launched "Operation Gold". In just over a month, the troops attacked more than 2,100 times and cleared at least 1,200 manors, houses, and villas. Seized 400 aircraft and 75 vessels used for drug trafficking. The United States and other Western countries saw that Colombia's "golden action" was doing a good job, and the backhand was a wave of super doubling, directly providing Colombia with $65 million for the arrest of Pablo. In October 1989, the President took advantage of the chase and ordered the Colombian army and police to work closely together to block all possible routes of flight, and to take joint action with neighbouring countries such as Brazil, Peru and Venezuela to strengthen surveillance of border areas, especially sparsely populated areas, and then continued the large-scale search for drug traffickers in the country. What is this called? Close the door and hit the dog! Just three days after the order, the army and police searched more than 350 villas and homes of drug lords, including Pablo, arrested 11,540 suspects and seized drugs, gold, jewelry and weapons worth about $30 million. And Pablo is trapped in the beast, and can only continue to carry out bomb assassination. But he was embarrassed by the assassination of the head of Colombian intelligence headquarters. The first time he was assassinated, the drug dealer used 50 kilograms of explosives to kill the four bodyguards of the person in charge, and the person in charge was unharmed. The second time he was assassinated, the police arrested the killer in advance and found a car containing 100 kilograms of explosives and 15 kilograms of bombs, as well as a large number of detonators and fuses. The third time, the drug dealer prepared 1,000 kilograms of explosives, ready to blow up the building of the Ministry of Intelligence, this time it is foolproof, right? As a result, the 11th floor of the front of the building was completely destroyed, and the person in charge was unharmed in the office reinforced with steel plates on the top floor of the building, which can be said to be God's blessing.

The drug cartel's frontal rout and the failure of the assassination operation made Pablo feel that things were a little bad, so he began negotiations with the government, saying that he would help the government pay off tens of billions of dollars in foreign debt, on the condition that his remaining property be legalized and that he himself would not be extradited to the United States. After much negotiation, in June 1991, on the same day that colombia's congress passed a ban on extradition in the country's new constitution, Pablo surrendered, though he was sentenced to only five years in prison. He also served his sentence in a private prison built by Pablo himself.
Pablo's private prison
This prison is terrible! With nightclubs, saunas, waterfalls and football pitches, it's no exaggeration to say that it's a "paradise on earth". Not only was Pablo in his private prison a drunken fan and singing night and night, but he was also "remotely controlling" his remaining drug business. Colombia's no-extradition policy and Pablo's extravagant life in private prisons infuriated the United States, and the Colombian president said that you would also have to do some anti-drug responsibility, "Don't judge the peace process in Colombia." ”
However, only a year later, Pablo was reported to the government by an "informant" for killing two of his men in a private prison, and the government wanted to transfer him to another prison, so Pablo learned of the news, disguised under the cover of his men, and easily escaped from prison, which was equivalent to slapping the Colombian president in the face. When the news spread abroad, it frightened neighboring Venezuela into ordering the National Guard to be on alert to prevent Pablo from sneaking in. After Pablo escaped from prison, the President of Colombia joined forces with the CIA and the Drug Enforcement Administration to arrest him, and Pablo no longer had the same scenery as before. Why? Anyone who has watched Hong Kong police films knows that if the boss becomes a "street rat", then the second boss will soon replace him. After a year of desperate Pablo in hiding, because he really did not hold back, he called his son to share the joy of his 44th birthday the day before, and as a result, his telephone signal was immediately tracked and located, the police quickly moved, surrounded by groups, Pablo was dying and struggling, climbing on the roof of the house to prepare to escape, only to be shot three times and die on the roof of a house. A generation of drug dealers, the king of the king, eventually lost his life, and could not escape the fate of being ended by justice.

According to official Colombian statistics, in the decade from 1981 to 1991, at least more than 20,000 people died at the hands of drug dealers, including 157 judges and 3,500 anti-drug officers. And the initiator of all this, actually almost became the president of the country, it can be seen that this person's cruelty and ambition, if he really becomes president, then what kind of life is the life of Colombia's 50 million citizens, the audience can imagine, maybe it is not as good as our evil old society. Drugs are a thing that harms not only yourself and your family, but also the whole society. Drug dealers have money and can do anything. At that time, there will only be more innocent lives to pay for drug addicts. Decrypt the dog said that the drug addict is the "indirect murderer" who killed the anti-drug police, and the audience thinks that there is nothing wrong with it, right? Do not forget that our country sacrifices an anti-narcotics police officer almost every day. The average life expectancy of anti-narcotics police is only 41 years, which is 32.5 years lower than the national average life expectancy. Although the decryption dog has been mentioned many times, it is still necessary to say that you must stay away from drugs, what is the devil, drugs are much more terrible than the devil.
