Episode 55: Griselda Blanco

The Black Hand: An Organized Crime History Podcast

On Episode 55, we delve into the life of infamous Colombian drug lord, Griselda Blanco, she came up hard on the streets of Medellin, running away from home and allegedly committing her first murder at just 11 years old, eventually moving to Queens New York, where she started building her drug empire, currying favor in what would eventually become the Medellin Cartel, but following an attempted DEA takedown, and short stay out of the country, she relocated to Miami, launching a massive drug war in the streets, effectively turning South Florida into a warzone, while Blanco trafficked 10's of thousands of kilos of cocaine, while raking in close to a billion dollars every year, I hope everyone enjoys today's show and tunes back in next week for Episode 56.
