Pablo Escobar Mugshot Photo Autograph Signed Brother Roberto Fingerprint Narcos

Description

PABLO ESCOBAR MUGSHOT PHOTO WITH ORIGINAL SIGNATURE & FINGERPRINT OF BROTHER ROBERTO
My brother recently visited one of the last known hideouts and former residences of Pablo Escobar in Medellin, Colombia. In fact, Pablo celebrated his birthday in this hideout the day before he was killed in a shootout with Colombian police.  The home is currently occupied by Roberto Escobar, Pablo's brother and the former accountant of the Medellin Drug Cartel.  Roberto operates a "museum" at the residence, which is more often closed than open by the Colombian police (reportedly due to a lack of proper permits).  My brother was visiting Medellin in December of 2020 and was able to get into the museum.
While at the museum, my brother purchased this reprint photo and had it signed and fingerprinted by Roberto.  The reprint is a copy of the only mugshot photo ever taken of Pablo, after he was arrested by the Medellin Control Agency in 1977 for transporting 39 kilos of cocaine hidden in the spare tire of his truck.  Pablo is smiling because he knew he would be released shortly afterwards.  Following the arrest, a judge was bribed and the police officers who detained him were threatened with death (some say they were killed).  The case was swept under the rug and "disappeared".  In 1982, the editor of a newspaper remembered publishing the photo and released it to the public shortly after Pablo's election as an alternate member of Colombia's Congress.  When the story of his arrest as a drug trafficker resurfaced, Pablo was forced to resign from Congress and his brief stint in politics was over.
The photo is printed on 8 1/2" x 11" photo paper, as it was obtained from the museum.  My brother witnessed Roberto sign and fingerprint the photo.  The photo also has a special bear stamp with his name "ROBERTO ESCOBAR GAVIRIA" and "OSITTO", which represents his nickname "El Osito" (Little Bear).  The last photo in this listing shows Roberto holding up one of the photos my brother purchased.  I will also send the buyer a photo and video of Roberto signing one of the photos via email after the purchase.
Roberto de Jesús Escobar Gaviria (born January 13, 1947), nicknamed
El Osito
(Little Bear), was the brother of drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, and is the closest living relative of Pablo, except for his son Juan Pablo.  Roberto was the former accountant of the Medellin Cartel, which was responsible for up to 80 percent of the cocaine smuggled into the United States and reportedly brought in 0 million per week in revenue.  For his part in the operations of the Medellin Cartel, Roberto was imprisoned.  He escaped with his brother in July 1992 but surrendered to authorities a year later.  On December 18, 1993, while still in prison, he was blinded in one eye by a letter bomb sent by
Los Pepes
, a paramilitary group funded by the Cali Cartel.  After more than 10 years, he was released from prison, and he now lives in the residence last occupied by Pablo before he was killed by the Colombian Search Bloc in 1993.
This photo is GUARANTEED to be hand signed and fingerprinted by Roberto Escobar.  There is no Certificate of Authenticity because Roberto considers his fingerprint to be better than a COA.  As I mentioned earlier, this photo was obtained directly from Roberto in December of 2020.  If you have any concerns regarding the authenticity of this piece, please feel free to check out my positive feedback and bid with confidence from a trusted seller.
