She was married to the cocaine king, here's the truth about Pablo Escobar's wife.

“Mito or death”, or as stated in Spanish “plata o chlomo”, this was the method Pablo Escobar used to hold the hand of the entire Colombia.

It was about the ultimatums that he put on each cop or other on the street. They had to choose one of two options to do as he said or take a bullet in his forehead. Besides cocaine, Pablo Escobar's success has been largely dependent on violence and myth.

By applying these methods, he managed to build a “perandor” Medeline cartel, which during the 1980s every day in the United States smuggled 15 tons of cocaine.

And so most of the people who came forward chose the first version “plata”, enabling this young man from the Colombian town Rioneg to hold 80 percent of the world's cocaine market in his hand. A series entitled “Narcos” that was watched around the world has also been recorded regarding his exploits.

Today, 24 years after Escobar's death, the CIA continues to search for its hidden bases, and that fact makes life more difficult for a man like Esbobar.

As long as in this series the wife of narco-cardel Maria Victoria Enao is portrayed as loyal, there needs to be a huge difference between reality and fantasy. Escobar has been the son of a poor farmer and a teacher, and Maria comes from an educated and vocal family. She was only 13-year-old when they met, and married him as 15.

And given the fact that she was 11 years younger than Pablo, her family wasn't very happy with her move. They have in many cases tried to prevent them from meeting, naming him very simple and undeserved to meet with Marian. However, she was stubborn, and her words about why she had married Escobar told her son: “I fell in love with his desire to help others, and especially those who had trouble. We've stayed in poor areas and dreamed of how we would build in those school areas. From the very beginning he has been a gentleman”. Argentina gave them asylum, and his wife changed her name to Maria Isabel Santos Kabajero. Before going to Argentina, they had been in Mozambique for a short time, even seeking help from the Vatican, yet their request has been refused.

But even with a new identity, their life in Argentina was not easy. After it was discovered that they were living in this country during 1999, Maria and Juan Pablo have been arrested on charges of money laundering. And not wanting to give up the luxurious life and billions of dollars that they inherited from the narco-cartelli, they managed to escape without consequences.

The detectives have admitted that they might not be arrested so quickly unless their true identity was revealed. On the other hand, Maria claimed that the entire trial process was politically motivated. After much gossip in Argentina, Maria remained a sort of mystery. In fact, today no one knows where he is, which is good for him. However, considering that her children continue to live in Argentina, there are great possibilities that she too will be there, disguised, and perhaps even operated.
