Escobar's capture was a turning point in the fight against organized crime from "summary" of Killing Pablo by Mark Bowden

Escobar's capture was not just a significant event in the history of Colombia, but it also marked a pivotal moment in the global fight against organized crime. For years, Pablo Escobar had operated with impunity, terrorizing the country with his drug cartel and amassing immense wealth and power. His ability to evade capture had made him a symbol of lawlessness and impunity, not just in Colombia but around the world. The capture of Escobar was not just a matter of apprehending a single criminal; it was a blow to the very foundations of organized crime. It showed that even the most powerful and elusive criminals could be brought to justice with determination, resources, and international cooperation. The operation to capture Escobar involved a complex and sophisticated effort that required the coordination of multiple agencies, both within Colombia and from other countries. By bringing Escobar to justice, the Colombian government demonstrated its commitment to fighting organized crime and restoring the rule of law. It sent a clear message to other criminal organizations that they would not be allowed to operate with impunity. The capture of Escobar also had a significant impact on the morale of law enforcement agencies and the general public, showing that even the most powerful criminals could be brought down. The capture of Escobar did not mark the end of organized crime in Colombia or elsewhere, but it was a turning point in the fight against criminal organizations. It showed that with determination, resources, and international cooperation, even the most powerful criminals could be brought to justice. It was a moment that demonstrated the power of the rule of law and the resilience of those who were committed to upholding it.
