Hunters for people: how we caught Pablo Escobar. Murphy S., Peni Kh.

The Cruel Medelinsky Cartel of the Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar was responsible for the illegal turnover of tons of cocaine to North America and Europe in the 1980s and 1990s. The country turned into a combat zone when its killers mercilessly killed thousands of people to guarantee that he would remain a ruling thief in Colombia. Having billions of personal income, Pablo Escobar bribed politicians and legislators and became a hero for poorer communities, having built houses and sports centers. He was almost inviolable, despite the efforts of the Colombian National Police to hold him accountable.

But Escobar was also one of the most wanted criminals in America, and the Drug Control Department created a working group to put an end to terror Escobar. It included agents Steve Mer Fi and Javier F. Peni. For eighteen months, from July 1992 to December 1993, Steve and Javier fulfilled their task, finding themselves under the sight of the killers aimed at them, for a reward of $ 300,000, which Escobar appointed for each of the agents.
