Biography
Initial life
Blanco was born in Cartagena, Colombia, on the north coast of the country. She and her mother, Ana Luca Restrepo, moved to MedellÃÆ'n when she was three years old. It did not take long for Blanco to start living a life of crime. Blanco's former lover, Charles Cosby, tells at the age of 11, Blanco is allegedly kidnapped, trying to redeem and finally shooting a child from an upscale upscale neighborhood near his own neighborhood. Blanco has been a pickpocket before he was even 13 years old. To avoid a sexual assault by his mother's girlfriend, Blanco escaped from home at the age of 14 and was forced to loot at MedellÃÆ'n until the age of 20.
Drug business
Blanco is the main character in the history of drug trafficking from Colombia to Miami Florida, and other countries throughout the United States.
In the mid-1970s, Blanco and her second husband Alberto Bravo immigrated to the United States settled in Queens, New York. They set up a huge cocaine business there, and in April 1975 Blanco was charged on federal drug conspiracy charges along with 30 of his men. He fled to Colombia before he could be arrested, but returned to the United States, settling in Miami in the late 1970s.
Miami drug war
Blanco's return to the United States from Colombia more or less coincides with the onset of violent public conflicts involving hundreds of killings and killings each year among those associated with the high-crime epidemic that swept through Miami City in the 1980s. Law enforcement struggles to end cocaine's entry into Miami led to the establishment of CENTAC 26 (Central Tactical Unit), a joint operation between the Miami-Dade Police Department and the DEA anti-drug operation.
Blanco was involved in drug-related violence known as Miami Drug War or Cocaine Cowboy Wars that hit Miami in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This is the time when cocaine replaces marijuana trade. It was a lawless and corrupt atmosphere, mainly created by Blanco's operation, which caused gangsters to be dubbed "Cowboy Kokain" and their way of doing business with violence as a "Miami drug war".
Its distribution network, which spans the United States, generates US $ 80,000,000 per month. His violent business style brought government oversight to South Florida, leading to his organization's death and Miami's popular and turbulent drug scene of that era.
In 1984, Blanco's desire to use force against his Miami rivals or anyone who displeased him, led his rivals to repeatedly try to kill him. In an attempt to escape from the hits that were summoned to him, he escaped to California.
Capture
On February 20, 1985, he was arrested by a DEA agent at his home and detained without any guarantees. After his trial, Blanco was sentenced to more than a decade in prison. While in prison, he continues to run his cocaine business effectively.
By pressing one of Blanco's lieutenants, the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office obtained enough evidence to indict Blanco over three murders. However, the case failed because of technical issues related to the sex-phone scandal between a star witness and a female secretary in the DA office. In 2004, Blanco was released from prison and deported to Medellin, Colombia. Prior to his death in 2012, Blanco's last appearance occurred in May 2007 at Bogota Airport.
Personal life
Blanco's first husband is Carlos Trujillo. Together they have three sons, Dixon, Uber, and Osvaldo, all of whom are poorly educated, and all killed in Colombia after being deported after serving a prison sentence in the United States.
Her second husband is Alberto Bravo. In 1975, Blanco faced Bravo, who was also his business partner, in BogotÃÆ'¡'s nightclub parking lot about the millions of dollars lost from the cartel profits they built together. The guardian reported: "Blanco, then 32, took out a pistol, Bravo responded by producing Uzi's light machine gun and after a firearm battle that he and six bodyguards lay dead." Blanco, who suffers from just underage wounds shoot to the stomach, recover and soon after that move to Miami, where her body count - and reputation for cruelty - keeps going up. "
Blanco has his youngest son, Michael Corleone Blanco, with his third husband, DarÃÆ'o SepÃÆ'ºlveda. SepÃÆ'ºlveda left him in 1983, returned to Colombia, and kidnapped Michael when he and Blanco disagreed over who would take custody. Blanco paid to have SepÃÆ'º descendants murdered in Colombia, and his son returned to him in Miami.
According to the Miami New Times, "Michael's father and his siblings were all killed before he got older, his mother was imprisoned for most of his childhood and adolescence, and he was raised by grandmothers and legal guardians." In 2012, Michael was put into house arrest after arrest of May over two cocaine trade crimes and a conspiracy for cocaine traffic.
Blanco is openly bisexual. According to The New York Post, "Court records show Blanco is a drug addict who consumes large amounts of bazooka, a potent form of unsaturated cocaine," "would force men and women to have sex at gunpoint weapons, and frequent bisexual parties. "" His favorite items include an Emerald and MAC 10 machine gun, a pearl of Eva Peron and a set of teas once used by the Queen of England. " The report continued: "In court, it was revealed that Blanco killed three ex-husbands and strippers, business rivals - and innocent people, including a four-year-old boy."
According to his youngest son Michael, Blanco became a born-again Christian.
Health
In the late 1980s, his lifestyle ambushed him: "Blanco - bloated and in poor health from decades of revelry - handed the day-to-day management of his business to his three sons, and tried to retire to the outskirts of Irvine, Calif." In June 2002, the 56-year-old man was "weak in health and had already suffered a heart attack while in jail."
Death
On the night of September 3, 2012, Blanco died after being shot twice in the head by motorcyclists in MedellÃÆ'n, Colombia. He was shot at Cardiso's meat shop at 29th Street corner, after buying $ 150 of meat; the middle-aged man climbed the back of the motorcycle outside the shop, came in, pulled out a gun, and shot Blanco twice in the head before calmly back on his bicycle and disappeared into the city. He's 69 years old.
