"Griselda Blanco: From Cocaine Queenpin to Netflix Hit - Where Are They Now?"

The Netflix series "Griselda" depicts the rise and fall of Griselda Blanco, a notorious drug lord responsible for hundreds of murders and billions in drug profits. After being found guilty of drug charges in 1985, Blanco continued to run her empire from prison but was later charged with multiple murders. Upon her release, she was deported to Colombia and was shot and killed in 2012. Her surviving son, Michael Corleone Blanco, has since distanced himself from the criminal lifestyle and now runs a successful weed business. The series also portrays real-life associates and enemies of Blanco, including police officers who worked to end her reign of terror and her trusted business associates, the Ochoa brothers. The show has faced criticism for potentially glorifying the violent history of its central figure.
