From tombstone theft to drug trafficking, Artan Hoxha: How the Chilean chemist

Journalist Artan Hoxha in the studio of the show "Opinion" on TV Klan, while talking about the life story of the 'King of Cocaine', Pablo Escobar, told how he began his illegal activities.

Hoxha reveals that Escobar started it all by stealing tombstones, erasing his name and then reselling them.

" He was born into a poor family. There were seven children and this was the third child. Initially, he was involved in the robbery of tombstones. That's how he started. They would erase their names and resell them. So this is the first activity that Pablo Escobar started. In his adolescence, he joined his cousin and together with him he spent part of his adolescence and did not finish high school, but after two years he forged a high school diploma and registered at the law faculty to become a lawyer. The dreams he had did not match the status he had in society ," said Hoxha. 

Among other things, Hoxha also tells about his contact with a chemist from Chile, a meeting which marked his beginnings with drug trafficking.

" He practically lived in an area where his ideas did not match and he was constantly looking for what would take him to the top. At the moment he created the group with his cousin and close people and connected with smugglers, there he came into contact with a chemist who had been in Chile. Chile until '73 was the main producer of cocaine. The traffickers left Chile and the experience gained there was distributed to the continent. The connection he made with the chemist from Chile, he gave him the way and showed him how profitable cocaine is and in the meantime a trafficker in the city had become very well-known, who was trafficking in the United States and she showed Escobar the routes and forms of what interest this narcotic was going to the United States. When he grew up and made connections, it occurred to him that we should not do this market ourselves and create an alliance that later became known as the "Medellin Cartel" between known members, who were also traffickers, but he had the idea that we should "We create an alliance and he succeeded by making this alliance ," Hoxha emphasizes.

The notorious drug lord and head of the Medellín Cartel, Pablo Escobar, was killed on December 2, 1993, in the city of Medellín, Colombia, one day after celebrating his 44th birthday.
