Popeye on Pablo Escobar: "He looked me in the eye, he never yelled at me and he paid me correctly" THE WORLD
The head of the murderers of the Medellin Cartel died Thursday because of stomach cancer. During an interview he was honest about the 'Patron'
Popeye dies, the most feared hitman of Pablo Escobar
"He took waters from the jungle and acquired cerebral malaria. He did not drop his gun. He was vomiting and vomiting . He was weak. I cleaned his vomit with all the love in the world and helped him bathe. That is the man I remember. human, the man who told me Pope. "
Popeye, the chief of the hit men of Pablo Escobar, only had the sensitive fiber to think about the Patron. The rest of the time, he showed the same empathy when he talked about what he had had for breakfast than when he remembered his victims. "We were at war," he excused himself.
Last Thursday, Colombia issued a statement informing that Popeye had died from stomach cancer. Before, the cartels, the army, the police, the paramilitaries, the FARC, the DEA and the CIA had tried, but they all failed. I met Popeye shortly after his release. He had spent more than 23 years behind bars and on leaving he chose to become YouTuber . He gave me an interview in which he showed a special talent for quackery and populism.
He told me about his victims - he killed more than 300 people, sent 200 car bombs and participated in the death of another 3,000 - about how he spent days and days hitting shots to the cocaine eyebrows inside the jail, threw me in the face that it was the Etarras (Spaniards) who taught him about explosives - "a guy from the ETA is a treasure," he said - and even came to accuse Felipe González and the National Court of having accepted a bribe of 30 million dollars from Escobar to instead of extraditing two drug traffickers to Colombia (so that they were rositas) instead of the US, where they would have fallen forever.
He spoke of all this as one who tells the military's battalions: virile, proud and even joking. However, when I asked him about his memories of Pablo Escobar, I got a romantic plea. A confession of unpublished love of the hitman towards his Patron.
"When I think of Pablo Escobar, I think of the man who, when they shot me down, went to visit me on my sickbed. I think of the man who looked me in the eye, who never yelled at me, who always did an operation - he murdered - He paid me well, a very kind man.
I remind the man that when they surrounded us in the jungle, he drank water from the jungle and acquired cerebral malaria. He didn't release the gun from his hand. Vomiting and vomiting. I was weak. I cleaned his vomit with all the love in the world and helped him bathe.
That is the man I remember. The human man The man who called me Pope when he was happy and Popeye when he was angry with me. I remember the man who was worth 10 million dollars and I dressed as a woman, being a bandit and a man that I am, to go for the mail. We had a human email because if we touched the phone we were dead.
My memory of Pablo Escobar is of love, of respect, of admiration. Pablo Escobar Gaviria was a murderer, a terrorist, a corrupt, a drug dealer and a thief, but he was my friend, "concluded his allegation.
Surprised by the answer, I decided to ask him about the photos in which the DEA agents pose happy with the Patron's body and he was very upset. "I saw them smiling. But I also saw Pablo Escobar Gaviria smile when we killed them all."
Now, united again in death, he can smile again and confess his love in hell.
