[Music] I am Tony Kiti journalist I encountered and recorded Pablo Escobar the medling cartel it is a criminal organization that was responsible for running the entire worldwide trafficking operation she is held by the Ooa family and the Escobar family are to me meet those people obviously it's not easy you don't just call for an appointment I reached out to a few Colombian journalists the first one told me watch out the medeline cartel has killed 80 Colombian journalists anyone who messes with traffic is fair game the henchmen of the medene cartel you can witness them every
single night at the Intercontinental Hotel in medeline Columbia it is impossible to miss them as they are wearing white hats and are armed and they have white ponchos and white Toyotas or 4x4s parked at the entrance of the hotel so I went to medeline I arrived at the Intercontinental Hotel I got a room and I started to approach them I started talking like hey I'm a French journalist I'd love to meet Pablo Escobar don't forget that at the time Pablo Escobar is on the Run he's wanted by police forces all over the world the Colombian
knocks the American knocks and even the French knocks they said listen we'll relay the message he requests my contact info then I returned to Paris a few months later I get a phone call you should return to Colombia then on a beautiful morning I witnessed Four Guys arrive at the hotel they approached me directly he tells me French Journal I'm telling you damn he'll flip going to kill me that guy he says come on let's go let's go we got into a convoy of 4x4s then we proceeded to a hassenda and there to our astonishment
it was not Pablo Escobar but rather Fabio Ooa who greeted us we were taken aback by this unexpected encounter and eagerly awaited to hear what he had to say and we spent approximately 1 month and a half in the center of the Ooa family they exhibited and unveiled to us every single thing their extraordinary and breathtaking property located on the coast of the Caribbean Sea the plan the [Music] lab we filmed it all it was incredible every time I think why are they letting us record B [Music] this John bertolino and Fabio AOA got along
well and one beautiful morning Don Fabio Ooa desires to demonstrate to me the location where his father is laid to rest we're going to a cemetery and there it's unbelievable he talks about his father and he starts crying this man responsible for deaths talks about his father with a tear on his face it's not a fake tear but genuine emotion as he reflects on the lives lost I will always remember that we returned to the cars I was relaxing in Fabio's car while the remaining members of the crew were in a car with armed bodyguards
positioned all around the motorcade halts and Don Fabio approaches my window on the upcoming day we have an interview scheduled with Don Pablo but which Pablo Pablo Escobar and on the subsequent day we departed at approximately 7:00 p.m. scarves were placed on our heads finally we reached this small Road just like that which happened to be the entrance leading to the Nasi Enda I open the door and I slightly activate my camera because Fabio you know instructs me definitely do not film say what you want but I am recording I had the camera activated beneath
my arm and there were approximately 50 young Killers giving us a guard of Honor as they formed a protective line and at the end of the hallway there is a pool for swimming and at the end of that pool there's this little guy kind of chubby not very tall with a green cap on his head who comes up to me and says Pablo Escobar it was the son of Ooa who initiated the conversation and it was evident that Escobar was displeased with the remarks made by oo's son so he slowly approached the goal of my
camera like that and then sat down we are going to interview him for approximately 1 hour and at one point we reached the end of the tape beep beep beep I put my hand in the cookie jar and I hear a 9mm gun barrel right behind my neck it was a mess of a body 16 years old 17 years old Kim pulls a gun and Escobar goes oh chill out man and at the conclusion of the interview Escobar seized hold of my arm and I said Don Tony he called me Don Tony you know Don
say yeah yeah Don Pablo but you know how it is intelligence gathering is also my gig and as he greeted me because he was heading somewhere he said to me well Don Tony come back and see me drugs are my passion that is the final thing I heard from this interview we had an agreement with the medeline cartel it was to display the film prior to its release upon my arrival at Loma I entered the courtyard and was greeted by the sight of at least 44 people eagerly anticipating the commencement of the event every single
one of them was in attendance with the sole exception being the absence of Pablo Escobar they all came to watch the movie Roberto Escobar Pablo's brother and his crew the high maintenance kids the beautiful sisters the women despised US during the shoot they sensed the danger of this movie for them they didn't understand why these people the most wanted in the world would agree to be filmed and so the viewing begins Don Fabio ctio sitting next to and behind the whole cartel and the film has just started and there it's unbelievable I'm looking at Don
Fabio in astonishment he had drifted off to sleep during the screening the movie is now over the end of the movie is particularly awful because they conduct an interview with Fabio a choer and bertolino aggressively questions him but actually Fabio the real boss of medeline it's not Pablo Escobar it's you and the answer in the interview is yes yes yes and he dozes off and Roberto ES stands up and he says to Fabio he is correct the Frenchman the true leader of medene it is you all right see you he's out of here the girl
a choa gets up Furious she gives me a dirty look and she says to her father Dad if this movie comes out we'll all be extradited to the United States he listens to his daughter he grabs me by the arm really strong like that he drags me into the corridor he says to me you will tell bertolini wherever he is in the world his ancestors his descendants before him you tell him and you two Don Fabio me I am a technician and he tells me you're a very skilled technician I said no problemo Don Fabio
no problemo I get in the taxi I'm like damn they're going to kill me take me hostage I don't know what they're going to do and there's my taxi waiting in the cender courtyard the guy was shaking because he recognized all those people he was shaking like that we're going down cender Lane and there's this white Toyota that's blocking us blocking us in in front blocking Us in the back and it is oo's youngest son who opens the door I said that is it I am kidnapped I am kidnapped he is asking me what is
the value what is the value sorry he says what is the value 1 M2 M3 M how much is this worth the movie he shuts the door and the cars blocked us for 10 minutes those were the longest 10 minutes of my life the taxi was muttering we're dead we're dead at last I managed to depart I successfully reached the Hotel accommodation first plane Paris actually in the movie there's this crazy scene where during Pablo Escobar's interview the whole damn BDI cartel is sitting at the table it is the gang and that my friend is
extradition to the good old United States of America Colombian traffickers choose grave in our country over prison in the US don't forget they prefer it that way so Patrick lay back then the boss of tf1 obviously decided not to release the movie and the movie came out after Escobar's death that is to say a year and a half later on tf1 show 52 on the moon [Music]
