Julio Edgar Gaviria

Julio Edgar Gaviria (April 1, 1945 Medellín-March 30, 2009) was a Colombian personality.

He was best known for being the cousin and right-hand man of notorious Colombian drug lord, Pablo Escobar. Gaviria was also a businessman and politician in his country. In 1991, he was elected to the Colombian House of Representatives and served until 1994. He was an outspoken critic of the extradition treaty between Colombia and the United States, which allowed for drug traffickers to be sent to the US for trial. Despite his political career, Gaviria's involvement in the drug trade was well-known and he was eventually extradited to the US in 1996. He pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges and served a 13-year sentence in a US prison before being deported back to Colombia in 2009, where he died just days later from complications related to liver cancer.
