When you think of gangsters and drug cartels, movies like Scarface, Blow, and the Godfather stand out. When we think of a drug lord we often picture an imposing dangerous figure, not a grandmother type. This week we cover the life of Griselda Blanco, otherwise known as the infamous “Cocaine Grandmother,” and mother to none other than Michael Corleone. Griselda made her mark in the Columbia drug cartels from a very early age. She was known as a ruthless criminal that many feared.
