Regrettably, to deactivate an entire cartel also proved to be a difficult task for my father and with all the enemies he had, even more.

I was perhaps one of the few people that were not part of [Pablo Escobar] group of yes-men because I was not a direct beneficiary of the violence that his actions generated.

If I were paying to display images of my father [like Netflix does] in the United States, I am sure I would face legal sanctions and I would even be killed for doing it. And Netflix receives applause instead of criticism for it.

It's a shame to see drug dealers enter and leave the United States as if nothing in addition to those that purchase weapons and firearms.

Clearly, something I am grateful for today is that my father had the strength to recognize and tell me about his activities instead of selling me a fabricated story. I think that helped us build a relationship based on trust.
