Escobar's plan was apparently simple but brutal: he was willing to pay the exorbitant sum of three million dollars for the artist's visit. However, the real intention was to kidnap him immediately after the show with the sole purpose of recovering the money invested. This story about drug trafficking in Colombia has once again shaken public opinion with a revelation that seems taken from a fictional film. Sebastián Marroquín, son of the feared drug lord Pablo Escobar, has confirmed that his father contemplated a sinister plan to kidnap the 'King of Pop', Michael Jackson, during the 1980s. This shocking confession is the central axis of the new documentary series from Disney+ and Hulu, titled 'Dear Killer Nannies: Raised by Hitmen'. The sinister plan of Pablo Escobar to kidnap Michael Jackson. A millionaire whim turned into a trap. According to Marroquín's account, around 1988, the leader of the Medellín cartel considered hiring Michael Jackson for a private performance in Colombia for a birthday party. Michael Jackson thus emerged as a symbol of the terrifying reach that drug trafficking power came to have, where even global stars were in the sights of the capo's violent logic. The most moving part of the testimony is the emotional impact on Marroquín himself, who at the time was a fervent admirer of Jackson. Upon learning of his father's intentions, the young man decided to renounce his admiration for the artist as a desperate measure to prevent the idea from materializing. 'He himself made me feel that everything I loved would be in danger', he confesses in the series, which seeks to show the raw human consequences of Escobar's legacy.
