Griselda Blanco: biography of the most famous drug baroness

Griselda Blanco, nicknamed the Black Widow, is a Colombian drug baroness. In another way, it is called the godmother of cocaine. Her whole life is connected with drugs, murders and other crimes. In 2012, it was shot by two killers, passing by on motorcycles.

Childhood

Griselda Blanco was born in Colombia, in Cartagena, in the forty-third year of the twentieth century. Her mother's name was Anna Lucia Reisterpo. There is no information about the father. When Griselde was three years old, they moved to Medellin. A girl from childhood was drawn to the underworld. At eleven, she was already involved in the abduction of the child for the purpose of subsequent ransom. The kid was then shot. According to one of the legends, this was done by the young Griselda herself.

Youth

When she was fourteen, she escaped from her home. Her mother constantly beat her, and the girl escaped from the abuse of the parent. For some time after her escape from the house, she worked as a prostitute.

Marriage

In total, Griselda Blanco married three times. The first time she married, when she turned twenty. Her husband was Carlos Trujillo. Griselda settled down and became a simple housewife. In this marriage, she gave birth to three sons. But her husband fell into the sphere of drug business and began to turn "dirty" business. After a while Griselda remained a widow.

Then Griselda married the second time when she was almost thirty years old. The wife was Alberto Bravo. Then she and her husband left for the USA and settled in New York, in Queens. Without the knowledge of the language, without a profession and education, it was very difficult for the family to live. As a result, Griseld and Alberto decided to tackle drug trafficking as the easiest way to raise their wealth.

Drug Business

Griselda Blanco, whose biography is related to drugs, started this "business" with her husband as soon as they arrived in the States. And for a short time they organized a whole sales network for sales. In the second half of the seventies they almost fell under arrest. We managed to escape to Colombia. But soon returned to the United States. Only this time we left for Miami.

Drug traffickers got there just in the midst of the "war of cocaine cowboys." There was a cruel redistribution of the market for the trade in marijuana and cocaine. Griselda and her husband joined in this war. As a result, marijuana from the markets almost disappeared.

She was one of the first to come up with how to transport large quantities of drugs across the border. Subsequently, Griselda even opened her own store of women's underwear. Each product had a small secret pocket for the transport of drugs.

Griselda developed special routes for the sale of cocaine. These ways were later used by drug dealers for decades. In the seventy-ninth year, the police raided the drug baroness. Griselda Blanco was wounded, but managed to escape from the guards of the law.

She was considered a very dangerous and serious drug baroness. Many who stood in the way of her business, she eliminated from her road by any means. The most beloved was one proven option. Motorcyclists drove up to the man on the street and shot the victim at close range.

Grieselda's gang killed not only this way. They could carve a car, cut a man alive to pieces, etc. They did not even spare children. In the eighty-fourth year she went to live in California, because in Miami it became unsafe for her. Too many people wanted to get even with her, the woman made enough enemies.

Arrest

In February of the eighty-fifth year, Griselda Blanco, whose photo is in this article, was arrested in her own house. After a while, a trial took place. He sentenced her to twenty years in prison. But even from places of detention, Griselda continued to manage her "black" business. In 2004, she was sent home, to Colombia. There she continued the development of her drug empire.

Children of Griselda

In total, Griselda gave birth to four sons. Three of them were killed during the bloody showdown. Only one survived, the last and the youngest - Michael Corleone. He was raised from childhood by his grandmother. Apparently, therefore, the mother did not manage to get him into her business. And thus saved his life. Although the mother genes are still affected. In 2012, Michael was arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking. He was also suspected of transporting cocaine. As a result, Michael was under house arrest.

The death of the drug baroness

Griselda Blanco died in 2012. On the third of September, while she was in Medellin, she went to a butcher's shop. When she came out of the building, she was met at the entrance by two motorcyclists, who shot her at point-blank range. Griselda died on the spot. She had no chances to live after the two bullets fired into her head.

The same way to destroy all those who stood on the criminal path of the drug baroness, was always used in her gang. The police were not even surprised at this reprisal. It would be strange if the drug baroness could calmly die, aged. It is symbolic that the "cocaine queen" was sent to the other world in the same way.

Filmography

Griselda Blanco (her filmography is very scarce) appeared in only one documentary - "Coca-Cola Cowboys", released in 2006. The film is based on real events from her life. In it she played the role of herself. The picture tells about the brutal drug baroness, in which Charles Cosby fell in love. According to the plot Griselda helps him to reach heights in the drug business.
