Part 8/10:
After Escobar was killed in a violent confrontation with police in 1993, his death marked a turning point in the narcotics landscape, but the drug trade continued unabated. Colombian cartels shifted operations, demonstrating that the market could adapt in his absence. In contrast, El Chapo was apprehended multiple times yet demonstrated a remarkable ability to escape and remain influential. His last arrest in 2014 led to his eventual extradition to the U.S., where he faced significant legal battles.
