Griselda Blanco was a Colombian drug trafficker who went on to head one of the largest drug distribution networks in the United States of America. Griselda remains a fascinating subject for she ruled an industry usually dominated by men. Griselda Blanco was born in Cartagena, but her family moved to Medellin when she was a child. Right from an early age, she became involved in crimes that finally led to her becoming a prostitute. She eventually became embroiled in the ‘Medellin Cartel’ that controlled the cocaine trade in Colombia. Blanco initially set up her operation in New York in the 1970s, and after being arrested by the law enforcement authorities she went back to Colombia, only to re-establish her business in another city. Blanco was particularly known for the ferocity with which she dealt with her enemies. Her turf wars led to the infamous ‘Miami Drug Wars’ that claimed plenty of lives. Griselda Blanco was a fearless drug lord who took on anyone without any hesitation. In fact, she had a long-running feud with the Ochoa Family, one of the most powerful families of the ‘Medellin Cartel.’ Griselda was known by monikers, such as ‘The Cocaine Godmother’ and ‘Queen of Narco Trafficking’ among others.
