welcome back you're watching r t these are they have minds activists claim soldiers in northern syria are turning against the regime but the government says they are just armed gangs posing a threat to the public the be all fly together and a corporate protest movement that began in new york goes in upon handle with demonstrations being planned in cities across the globe the boss the european central bank says it's done its part in the debt crisis and governments now have to take the lead. we have lines coming your way next how was special report about the colombian drug lord pablo escobar became and i had him after his death.

crew kicks its heels and i heard tell for three days waiting for some response or acknowledgement to the request of me talk. and distrust runs deep in me ask about climate. but on the fourth day there's a phone call album merino finally agrees to get together at her house. that album marina had been asked about his coconspirator during the time being hunted or as she puts it's secures it they shared many secrets and to this day she still has the greatest separation. nobody knows that i have kept all these souvenirs. these all belong to one time i picked them up from his various hiding

places. escobar also had a brother. that was two years old a. video of him from this time is rare but roberto escobar was a key member of the medina cox no he would also play an important role in his brother's flight from justice to speciality was accounting and his name was roberto escobar claims to have been among the fifteen people who helped organize the finances of the cocaine him. before taking a leave album arena had claimed her brother can be reached through a contact in the united states. some however would like to speak with. out of interviewer don roberto to talk about publicly we need to speak with him i mean you'd also need to pay some money i don't know how much the. system.

eventually a deal is reached for the person we actually want to interview the woman agrees to provide his final but. i'm a low key we don't roberto. who's going again i'm a french journalist how do you. find yourself can we meet at your office listen with his community. yeah no problem can you tell me where we can actually meet them . go to the us promise service station i'll have someone make you that in the thank you very much on. the meeting is due to take place in a residential district in central maine the only condition is no cameras. are nonetheless decided to film the meeting anyway.

but. the 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. beginning in one hundred eighty three i spent most of my time with our book we were the best of friends two brothers that were inseparable we did everything together including during the time when he was in hiding. the remaining fifteen minutes of the interview proved to be less fruitful he does agree to tell us though that while public was on the run he was always able to stay in touch. with his presence all roberto used a phone that he had missed t.v. sets to communicate with his brother. i made a phone to my t.v.

set i would pick up and turned it into a telephone. visitors what i need to see the t.v. . my brother any time. i change my voice and ask him. oh brother how you doing what are you up to the right time. june one thousand nine hundred three one year since i had escaped from the to draw a special unit has no idea where he is and he moves around the city under the very nose of some of the police. the government decides to tighten the screws. so you see. it triple the reward and ask about dead or alive is now worth five million dollars . a year.

the authorities refine and perfect their electronic surveillance powers one of the first to own a cellphone but he knows he has to keep on the move and keep his conversation short to prevent the police from pinpointing his position and. they're going to be on one day an american technician who was up in the airplane he's got a precise position. he's located the hiding place. they are on their list now of course can do. it in mountainous difficult terrain. if. we organized a helicopter operationally up my secrecy for the trip just a short while later we hear someone warning him on the radio saying. they know where you also go they're on their way the point is also 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 cartel informed the instant the police are about to swoop a colonel quickly ferreting out here but i will not trigger the police here again which i should. inform i was a young police exhilarated as it was known as the school would call an. insult out of all figures of police mother helicopters he said you hang around with us all the time at the police station and. the informant was in escobar as paid using the money to rent an apartment in this building just behind the barracks held for the cia and then. yes you are saying i was. going to be at the soon as this policeman knew an operation was being organized he used to run home and using a radio code called the puzzle escobar was left on it seized all that talk and code and say things like tell some but not as they used to. they're on their way

making straight for you sally i'm with the at you know basically about was as if you so when we were heading up towards the target innocent but sometimes the people's getting past is going the other way. that the traitor is eliminated in the manhunt can resume unimpeded. this is with the knowledge of how target is a guy called el chapo at pointing to our information he's hiding in this area. or was the terrorists' hands on terrorist guy who placed all the. benefits and i'm honest i'm going to go but i've been assuming this is a photo album with my various operations and suspects. 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 mario cast donald alias and chapal is tonight's target. the operation against a chopper is a success and many others follow the senior members of the cartel are eliminated one off to the other. escobar is severely weakened so towards the end this war 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 also knowing that even as the paper. records were criminals who had once been

a limited cartel for one reason or another and they began to challenge and then fight escobar. their bosses or to form accomplices of escobar who'd had enough of his paranoia and cruelty. like the police the papers knew all the secrets and habits of the leader of the cartel. the bloodletting series starts as the paper has gone down and the one that's close to the godfather . saw this change the dynamics of this. war now started worrying about his own family. his use the same tactics used by escobar by targeting the families. casing points the apartment owned by his mother is blow not at the time eskimos wife and

children had been inside nobody is hurt but the attack is on. one day they set off a bomb in a room in the painting by dali which was estimated to be worth five million dollars as good as wife is devastated and she calls 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 obvious down for. as long as a son and daughter in colombia cannot relax. he decides to summon to germany in europe. on the twenty seventh of november maria victoria on pablo and little manuel aboard a flight from frankfurt on the police escort and filmed by the t.v. crew members. eskimo parades a sigh of relief but although he doesn't know it yet but countdown to his iron hand

as a ready to go should pull some diesel see his wife and kids if leave for a safe country. there will be more but there's no country that once the. plane goes backwards and forwards and eventually he returns a colombian 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 fiesta balls are back in colombia on the police protection i have no idea i have walked straight into the trap set by us and colombian authorities. tell us a little they are asserting the once they'd been expelled from germany and were back in colombia they began pressuring escobar in a big way. when they lie in the escobar family is whisked away to a police safe house in bogota. they have become prisoners. the

same time the papers step up the pressure and attack the hotel with grenades again no one is injured. in his leg escobar hysterical with worry forgets even the most basic security. we're talking every day at search for a problem there on the same frequency that's how we started intercept them his communications. with the special investigations unit that's the turning point on the battle every man is mobilized and every means deployed. in front for vocal reconnaissance vehicles they curse the streets of medina an effort to locate the godfather as soon as he opens his mouth. the like being equal as we were listening in twenty four hours a day by that time in the search served our units one for looks ready to intervene

whenever a call was intercepted. on the first of december police technicians identify five phone calls made by ask about from different locations in the city center between me and the and he was always on the move on the line from a car that was constantly traveling. the police finally figure out when i've asked about his tricks to avoid being tracked down but fugitive had for months been using a simple but effective ruse of using one of the city's numerous caps that would drive around nonstop while he made brief cools 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. then suddenly on they fired we intercept just latest phone call and the amazing thing happens it's a signal from a fixed line so we know he's floating from

a house. the first police on site confirm the information and briefed by a superior officer at once. but rarely is he in the game so he tells me that's it i am at the house i'm right in front of it i think i can see him inside and he's near the window with a telephone and his hand. it's a confirmed sighting of the unit advances led by major. close up to us has entered our most of which we were cautious going to dr house the first thing we saw was the taxi which he used to take in there the other company.

going to have public talking on the phone and so he was up on the second floor. so we was hardest i had my rifle on the muslim front to see if we were moving slowly. absolute silence this was your. leader i see him. to stop us and he's right in front of me but we're not there but i will have a clear shot not of for us but i think it's like that for them and then he turns around as he sees me and he says what's happening he drops the photos i was revolver of open spot. i run upstairs clutching my pistol and i shoot him and him in the shoulder and then assist them to play with the door unless. he yelled to

me the policeman behind me takes his rifle and what opens fire is a wonderful seal a shot of you know what people should sit here right in the temple the bullet goes in here in this at you 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 to take the gun away from him . and then i take the radio call my bosses and shout. don't live cumbia someone. is dead. within thirty minutes or one files a member of the special duty have arrived on the scene. the whole city appears to congregate at the house and at the news of public escobar staff some up lord others are in tears.

his face hidden 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 was very happy everybody's very exhausted. you just can't imagine the pressure of that we felt had been lifted off our shoulders. much less how the common national police for. one thirty pm on the second of december of ninety ninety three oxy end of the largest manhunt in history. was the escobar is buried the next morning just outside maybe ten thousand people show up for the funeral home any escobar had been idle.

come. up to one corner of the female members of the family are almost 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 happens to the many godfathers fost forger where did he hide the five billion dollars that legend has it he was worth. taking

a year see just honestly i think his family has most of the money at the because not of how esteban's money was ever found like columbia that if he really had all those millions the idea and even if he probably didn't know how much exactly it will be even if it was just worth awfully couples he and his wife and children would have to be multi-millionaires today an argentine another would be. we want to check general masses comments. one is our ace the capital of argentina. after a stethoscope was widow area victoria and her two children subtle here and some comfort they changed identities and blended into the background maria victoria changed time aim to maria isabel one partner was better known today as sebastian morrow came. it took us more than a week to try to come down here escobar i mean now that builds in real estate and

maria victoria has set up an interior decorating company along with a sob in the heart of political a trendy part of the city. where outside and decide to make some phone calls. to the studio good morning quest it was the best american please he's not in you know when he might be back is he in town i think is on a trip i don't know where exactly is going to brought. back ok well thanks very much. of course to wait it seems a good time to find out more about the activities of the escobar family in argentina we spoke to a journalist who has been reporting on the family since they first arrived. here one hundred basing. in on the first came here they started hanging out with the locals in particular unaccountably beginning maria victoria and he were just

friends but then they became lovers monies they bought an apartment and it became bad enough last week. the apartment becomes the center of maria victoria how love is money laundering operations. in libya the number of the accounts and begins to travel back and forth to columbia canada trunks full of banknotes you know this. and they learned your luggage has a false bottom and contain as much as four hundred thousand dollars between one thousand five and one thousand nine hundred 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 to soon betrayed the accountant is really only interested in the money and becomes greedy and effectively blackmails mrs escobar for no less than five years. in one thousand nine hundred ninety as a dramatic development as the entire family is arrested maria victoria

a song. 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 eskimos office building. the days tick by without years. by day four we're now caught acting on a tip from one. who's just a right back and what desirous i would like to meet up. but. there's no mistaking his father was they look so similar in profile

a cop father son has wiped the past from his slate. these days he's a successful designer in argentina. we had two hour meeting with the son of a godfather equipped with a hidden camera. a man who's trying to rebuild his life is notoriously shy of the media so i'm meeting the significance. of i call you sebastian zero on pablo. one part of the me is ancient history that was my life before. now your father built up a considerable fortune what happened to his money were you able to use any of it. the answer is simple. the war cost

a huge deal of moly. my father was immensely wealthy but he stopped dating and drugs and invested all of his money into the war. weapons and the manpower cost enormous about somalia. and beyond 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. 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 years inside meeting with an official and outside the policeman scolding him or keeping guard after their boss of finished they went in to be paid that's the way it always was one day a policeman and i with a politician's under agents or former president of the republic he would pay off everybody that would say here's a check thanks very much. arjun time justice eventually threw

up the case but as the only son of escobar there are many who have doubts of where his money came from. you know we've been accused of laundering maybe what was the figure about a million dollars over a period of five years. my concern is if it's true then we must be the worst money launderers in history since if you try and loan 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 billions of a number of accounts all buried underground somewhere or are they just illegible. nobody knows about maybe from this woman maria victoria but maybe godfathers widow .

she refused to talk with us or any images we have of these few seconds in the streets and what has areas. she has the key to some of the secrets of. what he died of not maybe in the rooftop in one nine hundred ninety three and upload escobar the greatest drug trafficker of all time took some of his secrets to his grave.
