half past one here in moscow here's a look at the headlines this hour egypt braces for a fresh wave of massive protests sparked by people's anger at president mubarak's latest refusal to step down that's despite him vowing to have some power to the vice president omar suleiman in a televised address. a territorial dispute between moscow and tokyo flares up again as japan's foreign minister visits russia for talks a day earlier if you were rated his country's claim to the grill islands which have been officially russia since the end of world war two. and sweden is under fire for its controversial wiretapping laws as the most far reaching plan in europe weeks

cables on the country's close cooperation with the us suggest it was adopted under american pressure. well next the second part of a special report which reveals the true story of the rise and fall of the colombian drug lord. the man who created and ran one of the biggest crime empires in history to stay with us. the crew kicks its heels in a hotel for three days waiting for some response or acknowledgement to the requests to me talk. caution and distrust runs deep in the ask about clan. but on the fourth day there's a phone call album arena finally agrees to get together at her house.

it's now learned that album arena had been as coconspirator during the time he had been hunted or as she puts it persecuted they shared many secrets and to this day she still has the greatest admiration for her brother. almost nobody knows that i have kept all these souvenirs. these all belong to public one time i picked them up from his various hiding places. i had a brother. who was two years old a. video of him from this time as read but roberto escobar was a key member of the medina. he would also play an important role in his brother's flight from justice his speciality was accounting and his memoirs claims to have been among the fifteen people who helped organize the finances of the cocaine empire. before taking her leave album arena

had claimed her brother can be reached through a contact in the united states. and our would like to speak with. the interviewer ben roberto to talk about publicly we need to speak with. i mean you'd also need to pay some money i don't know how much the. sistine chapel. eventually a deal is reached with a person we actually want to interview the woman agrees to provide his fine number . and yellow sea with the roberto the little i thought. he was going to. french journalist how do you. find yourself and we meet at your office or somewhere that's convenient. yeah not problem well can you tell me where we can actually meet them or go to the last comma service station i'll have someone meet you that

evening that thank you very much don roberto. the meeting is due to take place in a residential district in central my bein the only condition is no cameras. we nonetheless decided to film the meeting anyway. and it's not a. done roberto has no wish to dwell on the days when he was part of a cartel and dealt in cocaine although he has agreed to an exclusive deal with hollywood producers to sell his life story. the story of pablo's time on the run is something i'm familiar with. in fact i probably know more about it than most of them don't know what is on the. beginning in one thousand eight hundred three i spent most of my time with pablo we were the best of friends two brothers that were inseparable we did everything together including during the time

when he was in hiding but. the remaining fifteen minutes of the interview proved to be less fruitful he does agree to tell us though that while the public was on the run he was always able to stay in touch. and learn from his presence all roberto used a phone that he had missed t.v. set to communicate with his brother. had made a phone in my t.v. set i had rigged it up and turned it into a telephone. visitors would only see on t.v. that it allowed me to talk with my brother any time. i change my voice and ask him . oh brother how are you doing what are you up to everything all right then. june one thousand nine hundred three one year since i had escaped from the crowd to draw. a special unit has no idea where he is and he moves around the city under the very noses of the police. the government

decides to tighten the screws. so you see the shia it triples the reward and ask about dead or alive is now worth five million dollars for absolute shit about. the authorities refine and perfect their electronic surveillance escobar is one of the first to own a cell phone but he knows he has to keep on the move and keep his conversation short to prevent the police from pinpointing his position and technical they can only go on one day an american technician who was up in the airplane tells us he's got a precise position. he's located the exact hiding place he was size exact moment and. they on their course can do.

it in mountainous difficult terrain. we organized a helicopter operation in the up my secrecy for just a short while later we hear someone mourning him on the radio saying. they know where you also go they're on their way. by the time we arrived he'd gone. it's obvious there's a mole in the unit a traitor who keeps the head of a cocktail informed the instant the police are about to swoop. the colonel quickly ferrets i'm out here to. inform i was a young police exhilarating it was knowing as a skilled wood carver. little figures of police move you know you have a cop those you hang around with us all the time at the police station and. the informant was in escobar is paid using the money to rent an apartment in this

building just behind the barracks and. soon as this policeman knew an operation was being organized he used to run home. using a radio code. left on a school and talk code and say things like tell some. as they used to. live there on their way making straight for you. so when we were heading up towards the target a little book and sometimes see people's heading past going the other way. that the traitor is eliminated and the manhunt can resume unimpeded. but then we know each of our target is a guy called el chapo one into our information he's hiding in this area. or was

the terrorists' hands on terrorist guy who plays ball the ball. kind of person i want to start going to couple of minutes here on this photo album with i have various operations and suspects. and i think this is the guy we want to catch tonight. as a complete change of tactics the idea is to isolate escobar by rounding up his key men one by one man your custom no alias and chapal is termites target. the operation against is a success and many others follow the senior members of the cartel are eliminated while not off to the other public escobar is severely weakened so towards the end escobar was running without strong.

fear begins to creep in and the predator becomes the prey. and a new enemy begins to emerge the so-called group of the persecuted bulls i know it may be as the pig. has what criminal minds who had once been in the middle and cartel but left for one reason or another and they began to challenge and then fight as. their bosses a to form accomplices of escobar who'd had enough of his paranoia and cruelty. and like the police the peppers knew all the secrets some habits of the leader of the cartel. the bloodletting searing staats as the pepper has gone down anyone that's close to the godfather of

soul this changed the dynamics of this esquire now started worrying about his own family. the past has used the same tactics used by escobar by targeting the families. case in point as the apartment owned by his mother is blown up at the time ask about his wife and children had been inside nobody is hurt but the attack is on. one day they set off a bomb in the room in the painting by dali which was estimated to be worth five million dollars as wife was devastated and she calls public look she says they've destroyed the dolly what are we going to do about it. gradually escobar begins to fear for the lives of his loved ones it will be the reason of his downfall. as long as the son and daughter are in colombia he cannot relax.

he decides to something to germany in europe. on the twenty seventh of november maria victoria on pablo and little man away aboard a flight to frankfurt on the police escort and filmed by the t.v. crews. as kabab breathes a sigh of relief but although he doesn't know it yet the countdown to his iron hand has already begun sure pull such a slow sea hold his wife and kids as you leave for a safe country they will. buy but there's no country that once the. plane goes backwards and forwards and eventually returns to colombia no one wanted anything more to do with pablo escobar. on the diplomatic pressure the german government sunday escobar family back home on the twenty nine fiasco back in colombia on the police protection they have no idea they have walked straight into

the trap set by u.s. and colombian authorities. tell us a little they are asserting that once they'd been expelled from germany and what back in colombia they'd begin pressuring escobar in a big way. when they land the escobar family is whisked away to a police safe house in bogota. they have become prisoners. at the same time the peppers step up the pressure and attack the hotel with grenades over a game no one is injured. in his leg as hysterical with forgets even the most basic security. problem we're talking every day at six o'clock in the room on the same frequency and that's how we started intercepting his communications. with a special investigation unit it's the turning point in the battle every man is

mobilized and every means deployed. in front for vocal reconnaissance vehicles they cruise the streets of midian in an effort to locate the godfather as soon as he opens his mouth. it will be quick as we were listening in twenty four hours a day by that time in the search certain units were in full alert ready to intervene whenever a call was intercepted. on the first of december police technicians identified five phone calls made by escobar from different locations in the city center when lenient he was always on the move and the calling from a car that was constantly traveling. the police finally figure out one of ask about his tricks to avoid being tracked down the fugitive had for months being using a simple but effective ruse that of using one of the city's numerous caps that would drive around nonstop while he made brief cool's from his cell phone.

after four days spent listening in we were very tired we thought we'd never be able to track him down. causing. most but then suddenly on day five we intercept his latest phone call and an amazing thing happens it's a signal from a fixed line so we know he's phoning from a house. the first police on site confirm the information and brief their superior officer at once. by the way these here he thinks so he tells me that's it i am at the house and right in front of it i think i can see him inside it. is near the window with a telephone in his hand. it's

a confirmed sighting and the unit advances led by major agri ya. know sutter says that most of which we were cautious or made up to the house the first thing we saw was the taxi which he used to take in that unocal many. school talent and then i had public talking on the phone and he was up on the second floor. is how most of us are so we went topless i had my rifle on the muslim front seat we were moving them slowly. absolute silence this boss your. back i see him. just tell us and he's right in front of me bill you're not there

but i will have a clear shot not a boy i spat at you so i cut for them and then he turns around as he sees me and he says what's happening and he drops the phone pulls out his revolver an open spot. i run upstairs clutching my pistol i shoot him and say to mr shoulder and then assess the debate with the door unless. he yes any policeman behind me takes his rifle and there's some files a wonderful scene in it but when i'm here right at the time the bullet goes in here and exits the. cylinders and he suddenly throws himself through the window. just. i jumped out too which was difficult because back then the windows were much higher. so i moved forward take the gun away from him. and then i take the radio and call my bosses and shout. don't live colombia i'm

what is dead. within thirty minutes or one thousand men of the special unit have arrived on the scene the whole city appears to congregate at the house and at the news of staff some up lord others are in tears. his face hit the american agent steven murphy makes his way through the crowds of soldiers he wasn't about to let the culmination of sixteen months work go by on recognized everybody is very happy everybody's very exhausted. you just can't imagine the pressure that we felt had been lifted off our shoulders. much less how the colombian national police must follow. one thirty pm on the second of december one thousand nine hundred three marks the end of the largest manhunt in history.

was popular escobar is buried the next morning just outside maybe ten thousand people show up for the funeral for many escobar had been an idol. come. off to one corner of the female members of the family already most crushed as the crowd tries to touch the coffin one last time.

sixteen years off of the death of the most wanted man in the planet's one mystery remains unresolved what happened to the mating godfathers fost for sure where did he hide the five billion dollars that legend has it he was worth. a you see i think his family has most of the money because a lot of money was ever found and columbia that if he really had all those millions and even if he probably didn't know how much exactly even if it was just wealth offaly couples he and his wife and children would have to be multi-millionaires today tina. we want to just check general mazas comments. one is ari's the capital of argentina. after his death escobar his widow maria victoria and her two children subtle here

in some company they changed identities and blended into the background maria victoria changed her name to maria isabel juan pablo is better known today as sebastian morrow came. it took us more than a week to try to come down the escobar family now dabbles in real estate and maria victoria has set up an interior decorating company along with a song in the heart of palermo a trendy part of the city. where outside and decide to make some phone calls. to the studio good morning could i speak with the best american please he's not in you know when he might be back and when is he in town i think is on a trip i don't know where exactly is going to board. ok well thanks very much.

forced to wait it seems a good time to find out more about the activities of the family in argentina we spoke to a journalist who has been reporting on the family since they first arrived. if you're going to buy. when i first came here they started hanging out with the locals in particular an accountant at the beginning maria victoria and he were just friends you know yeah but then they became lovers monies they bought an apartment and it became a bad love nest. the apartment becomes the center of maria victoria and her love as money laundering operations. going on mia the accountant begins to travel back and forth to colombia carrying trunks full of banknotes you know this. you know and your luggage has a full possibly contain as much as four hundred thousand dollars between ninety five and one thousand nine and with barely over four years it's been proved they

smuggled in at least two million dollars there are some estimates that it could have been more than ten million. but maria victoria's love as soon betrayed the accountant is really only interested in the money he becomes greedy and effectively blackmails mrs escobar for no less than five years. in one thousand nine hundred nine there's a dramatic development as the entire escobar family is arrested maria victoria her son juan pablo as well as the blackmailer. they're released almost immediately the judges were never able to prove their wealth came from the drugs trade. since then the accountant has mysteriously disappeared and maria victoria has never been seen in public. the next move is to head towards escobar office building. the days tick by without news.

by day for we're in now calm acting on a tip from one public who's just arrived back in what desirous and would like to meet up. there's no mistaking who his father was they look so similar in profile the godfather song is wipe the past from his slate. these days he's a successful designer in argentina. we had two hour meeting with the son of the godfather equipped with a hidden camera. the man who's trying to rebuild his life is notoriously shy of the media so our meeting is significant.

and i call you sebastian owen pablo. said asked him one problem to me is ancient history that was my life before. now your father built up a considerable fortune what happened to his money where you able to use any of it. the answer is simple. the war cost a huge deal of money. my father was immensely wealthy but he stopped dealing in drugs and invested all of his money into that war. weapons and the manpower cost enormous amounts of money. and be on the cost of the weapons and explosives and a considerable amount of money was used to corrupt people. so he bought the whole country off. yeah the whole country all of it. i remember very well being in my father's office once i saw an endless stream of important people for example he was inside meeting with an official and outside the policeman

scolding him or keeping god after their boss had finished they went in to be paid and that's the way it always was one day policeman another day politicians one day i even saw a former president of the republic he would pay off everybody that would say is a check thanks very much. argentine justice eventually threw up the case but as the only sign of problem escobar there are many who have doubts over where his money came from. you know we've been accused of laundering maybe what was a figure about a million dollars over a period of five years. war well i can say is if it's true then we must be the west money launderers in history since if you try and unload the money that comes from a cocaine trade. one million dollars is nothing just pocket money for a cup of coffee. so what

did happen to ask about his billions of a number of accounts or buried underground somewhere or are they just a legend. nobody knows about maybe from this woman maria victoria the medina godfathers widow. she refused to talk with us i merely images we have of these few seconds in the streets and what has areas. she has the key to some of the secrets. but he died of not many you know rooftop in one thousand nine hundred three a blow escobar the greatest drug trafficker of all time took some of his secrets to his grave.
