Escobar Escapes Cathedral Prison Amid Fresh Intercepted Talks
Colombian authorities grapple with Pablo Escobar after a dramatic breakout from the Cathedral prison in Envigado. A taped telephone conversation, allegedly with Escobar and unidentified officials, hints at his refusal to accept prison rules and his plan to return to Medellin. Officials say Escobar seeks guarantees against transfer or U.S. extradition, while the government demands unconditional surrender. Escobar’s network and influence are described as sprawling, with evidence he directed operations from prison and ordered executions of associates.
