(LOS ANGELES) – Pablo Escobar, Colombia’s most infamous drug lord, rose from a mere cocaine dealer to running the Medellin Cartel – a multi-billion-dollar powerhouse in the narcotic market. Escobar spent a lot of his money on luxury items and properties around the world. But urban legends led many to believe much of his fortune is still yet to be found – and buried across Colombia and Central America. With never-before-granted access and Colombian government support, Discovery went out in search of this alleged hidden treasure in an all-new series called ESCOBAR’S MILLIONS (Working Title) to air later this year.
Doug and Ben are former CIA case officers on a mission to once and for all solve the mystery. Together they’ll use their elite skillset – along with the latest advancement in GPR (or ground-penetrating radar) – to hunt down the illicit profits of Escobar’s drug war. Never has there been a search of this scope or magnitude. If there is a fortune to be found, they’ll uncover it and forever solve this great mystery.
