Roberto de Jesús Escobar Gaviria (born January 13, 1947), nicknamed El Osito, is the brother of drug kingpin, Pablo Escobar, and the former accountant of the Medellín Cartel, which was responsible for up to 80 percent of the cocaine smuggled into the United States.
For his part in the operations of the Medellin Cartel, he was imprisoned. He escaped with his brother in July 1992 but surrendered to authorities a year later. On December 18, 1993, while still in prison, he was blinded in one eye by a letter bomb. After more than 10 years, he was released.
In 2014 he founded Escobar Inc with Olof K. Gustafsson and registered Successor-In-Interest rights for his brother in California, United States. On July 1, 2016 he sent a letter to Netflix regarding Narcos TV-series demanding $1 billion in payment for unauthorized usage of content.
