Pablo Escobar’s Wife, Son And Daughter After His Death
Pablo Escobar’s wife Maria Victoria Henao, son Juan Pablo and daughter Manuela Escobar paid a huge price after he was gunned down by Colombian authorities in 1993. They were suddenly forced to live a life of uncertainty, as they no longer had the drug lord’s protection and monetary security. In the year following his death, they moved from one country to another trying to secure asylum.
The countries included Ecuador, Brazil, Mozambique, South Africa and Peru. Most shut the door on them, but in December 1994, the family was able to stay in Argentina using tourist visas. They kept a low profile and changed their names. But in 1999, the family’s identity was exposed, and in 2000, Maria was charged with money laundering and entering the country on false papers. She was later on released for lack of sufficient evidence.
