and her love is money laundering operation. going on bia the accountant begins to travel back and forth to colombia carry a trunk full of bank notes and the latest. and they learned basically your luggage has a false possibly contain as much as four hundred thousand dollars between ninety five and ninety nine and with barely over four years in proof they smuggled in at least two million dollars there are some estimates that it could have been more than ten million. at maria victoria's law of a certain bitrate the accountant is really only interested in the money in the cons greedy and effectively blackmails mrs escobar for no less than five years. in one thousand nine hundred nine there's a dramatic development as the entire escobar family has arrested maria victoria a song on pablo as well as the blackmailer. they're released almost immediately the judges were never able to prove their wealth came from the drugs trade. since then

4:56 pm
godfather equipped with a hidden camera. a man who's trying to rebuild his life is notoriously shy of the media so our meeting is significant. i call you sebastian owen pablo. said i asked him one pablo to me as ancient history that was my life before. now your father built up a considerable fortune what happened to his money were you able to use any of it. the answer is simple. the war cost a huge deal of money. my father was immensely wealthy but he stopped dealing drugs and invested all of his money into that war. weapons and the manpower cost enormous
4:57 pm
amounts of money. beyond the cost of the weapons and explosives and a considerable amount of money was used to corrupt people. so he bought the whole country off. the whole country all of it. i remember very well being in my father's office once i saw an endless stream of important people for example he was inside meeting with an official and outside the policeman scolding him were keeping guard after their boss had finished they went in to be paid that's the way it always was one day policeman and how they politicians one day i saw a former president of the republic he would pay off everybody that would say here's a check thanks very much. arjun time justice eventually throughout the case but as the only son a popular escobar there are many who have doubts of where his not he came from.

you know we've been accused of maybe what was a figure about a million dollars over a period of five years. all i can say is if it's true then we must be the worst money on recent history since if you try and loan the money that comes from a cocaine trade. one million dollars is nothing just pocket money for a cup of coffee. so what did happen to ask about those billions of a number of accounts or buried underground somewhere or are they just illegible. nobody knows about maybe from this woman maria victoria but maybe godfathers widow . she refused to talk with us here the images we have of these few seconds in the streets and what has areas. she has the key to some of the secrets.
