About Griselda Blanco

Life of Crimes

La Madrina broke the glass ceiling in the male-dominated underworld of the Colombian cartels by ruthlessly killing anyone who crossed her. She was accused of ordering at least 40 homicides from Miami to New York. Legend has it that Griselda is haunted by a body count that surpasses 250.

Her son, Michael Blanco, was arrested for drug trafficking charges on May 12, 2011.
