I saw an interview with Escobars son where he says that his father was inspired by Toto Riina and sort of idolized him
Wasn’t Escobar a big deal before Riina though?
No, the Sicilians even provided Escobar with advice on military strategy. Later the Sicilians also worked with his rivals the Cali Cartel, they had stronger connections to politics and military.
Never knew that. They worked with the Cali Cartel while they were warring with Escobar or after Escobar had died?
