Former Colombia representative Rene Higuita has once again returned to talk about friendship with known drug baron Pablo Escobar. The author of the famous intervention “Acorp”, a Colombian football legend, does not ignore his relationship with the drug lord. He does not do it today, and he is even grateful for the help he has received during a difficult time. In a wide 90-minute conversation with “Fox Sports”, “El Loco” recalled the timing and was arrested after being accused of mediating to solve a kidnapping.
I was asked to hand over Pablo Escobar, promising I would not be arrested. They knew I was innocent, but in all the raids that started against him, they put the people that Pablo knew into jail. People considered me to be his friend, after visiting him in La Catal Prison. I told them I didn't know anything, I wouldn't even know about it. It was the duty of the authorities. I was grateful to Pablo Escobar for the fact that he lit up the football fields when no one else had. ”
Higuita explains later that being a friend of Pablo Escobar did not mean that you were a smuggler.
I am who I am, friend of all,” The current goalkeeper of Atletico Nacional follows. Why I was friends with Pablo doesn't mean I was a smuggler. Someone will like it, someone else will consider me an enemy. Being a football player makes me proud. ”
