Degrieff's Blackmail
Gustavo De Grieff was very interested in arranging Escobar's surrender but the noose was tightening. He told Juan Pablo, Escobar's son, that if his father didn't surrender by November 26, then the protection on his family would be withdrawn and they would be treated like regular citizens. Juan Pablo was 17 at the time and not 10 as portrayed on the series. He was very much involved in the day-to-day decisions that went on with his family as he became the man of the house in a sense with his father in hiding. His father however wanted too many things before surrendering including getting his family out of the country, but to also allow 21 family visits a year. No way he was getting that.
