Pablo Escobar's son slams 'Narcos' for glorifying his criminal father
By Maria Mercedes Galuppo, Buzz60
Pablo Escobar's son is not happy with the depiction of his father's life on the hit Netflix series "Narcos."
Sebastian Marroquin, who changed his name from Juan Pablo Escobar after his father's death, told the Spanish newspaper 'El Periodico,' the following: "I am not against telling stories, but I am against glorifying criminals and showing drug trafficking as glamorous. This confuses youths."

Marroquin slammed the TV show saying Narcos has "turned my father into a hero and given young people the idea that it is cool to be a drug trafficker."
The 39-year-old claims he is receiving messages from youths asking for help to be like his dad.
Marroquin says he'd offered exclusive material to the creators of the series in order to depict the drug lord accurately, yet they were not interested.
Since his father's death, Marroquin left Colombia to start a new life in Argentina where he has become a public speaker in opposition to the drug war that racked Colombia.
He's recently released a follow up book to "Pablo Escobar: My Father," a book revealing details about his father's life.
