Roberto Escobar, brother of drug baron Pablo and ‘successor-in-interest’ to the family name, asked Netflix if he could watch and assess Narcos before it went out.
“I am submitting a formal, friendly request to review this material solely on an informational basis,” he wrote in a statement.
Roberto served as the accountant for the Medellín cartel and has written books about his time with it, but Netflix didn’t get back to him.
I think nobody else in the world is alive to determine the validity of the materials, but me.”
