Manuela Escobar is the only daughter of Pablo Escobar, the renowned drug lord. He was head over heels in love with her. In truth, the Escobar family briefly lived in a Medellin mountainside refuge while on the run from Colombian and American Drug Enforcement Agency agents.
Manuela had hypothermia as a result of the cold. Escobar did what any loving father would do: he lit fire to $2 million in cash to keep her warm. Manuela was born in Panama on May 24, 1984. She is Pablo and Maria Escobar’s youngest child.
Manuela’s life was eventful when her father was alive. It remained dramatic after his death. Manuela, her brother Juan Pablo, and her mother Maria escaped Colombia when Pablo was killed. Pablo’s family was targeted by the Mafia and other drug traffickers.
The Cali Cartel demanded millions of dollars from the Escobars as restitution for Pablo’s crimes against them. After all of Pablo’s misdeeds, no country would grant the Isobars asylum. Maria even petitioned the Vatican for assistance.
Manuela, Juan Pablo, and Maria arrived in Mozambique, then Brazil, Ecuador, South Africa, Peru, and ultimately Argentina in 1995, two years after Pablo’s death. Argentina only welcomed them since their new identities concealed the fact that they were Pablo Escobar’s family. Because of your privacy choices, this content is not available.
