Michael Corleone Blanco clarifies that contrary to circulating rumors, his brother Osvaldo was not killed by infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar. Instead, Blanco recounts, tensions escalated when Osvaldo, returning to Colombia after being released from prison, tarnished Escobar's reputation at a club, drawing the ire of the cartel members present. However, he adds, this was only part of the narrative; the real drama unfolded over a dispute with the member of the Los Pepes/Doŕa Martí's cartel, whom Osvaldo had offended in the club. Blanco further notes that his mother, Griselda Blanco, had strong affiliations with both the Cali cartel and Escobar's enterprises during their heyday. Osvaldo, leveraging these connections, moved up in Colombia's drug underworld, causing further friction. Blanco stated that Osvaldo's murder was a result of a drug deal gone awry when Matisse, another cartel member, ordered the hit after Osvaldo allegedly threatened to kill him.
