Before El Chapo, there was Pablo Escobar. One of the world's biggest drug lords. At one time, he supplied the world of 80% of its cocaine. He was so rich that he built his own prison! He has a Robin Hood image, building houses and football pitches in the poorer areas of Medellin, Colombia. But he was a narcoterrorist. He was sanctioned the murders of over 600 Medellin police officers, had several opposing politicians assassinated, and killed innocent bystanders in car bomb explosions across the city. He spent sixteen months on the run after escaping his own prison, trying to evade capture from both the Colombian and United States governments. He died during a shootout on December 2, 1993.
