A MUST READ THREAD 🧵
Pablo Escobar’s abandoned ‘La Manuela’ mansion in Colombia, named after his daughter.
In 1993, the estate was targeted in a bombing orchestrated by Los Pepes, a vigilante group whose acronym stood for ‘Perseguidos por Pablo Escobar’ (People Persecuted by Pablo Escobar).
Los Pepes was reportedly supported by Escobar’s rival, the Cali Cartel, as well as other individuals who opposed Escobar.
During the attack, 200kg of TNT was placed inside a bathroom at La Manuela. The detonation destroyed much of the house, and eight months later, Escobar was killed by Colombian National Police.
