Pablo Escobar's Son Fact Checks Narcos

The Netflix series Narcos has brought Pablo Escobar back into the spotlight some twenty years after his death at the hands of the Colombian National Police, but as usual some liberties were taken with the truth.

And since Pablo's son Sebastian Marroquin (formerly Juan Pablo Escobar) just so happens to have recently released the book Pablo Escobar: Mi Padre he decided to set the record straight about Narcos on Facebook.

Sebastian starts his 28 point criticism by claiming Pablo's brother-in-law Carlos Henao was never involved in any of the drug activity, stating he "was an architect who helped build some houses, roads and bridges of the hacienda Naples to my father".

He then goes on to drop this truth bomb on us:

2. My Father was not a supporter of Atlético Nacional, but of the independiente medellín. If the writers don’t even know the favorite team of Pablo, how dare to tell you the rest of a story like that and sell it as true? Do everything okay?

The truth gets much darker from there, and the Facebook translation gets even worse:

4. on the escape of the Cathedral: there was no confrontation so big there, only a keeper of the prison died. Those who were not clashed. My Father had no contacts, no help from the law to escape.

8. My mother never bought or used a weapon. Everything about it is a lie. Never even shot.

9. My Father did not kill any personally to Colonel “Carrillo” as they call it in the series to the chief of the block of search. Many attacks made him to the police of Colombia and they died more than 500 in a month in the city of medellin at the end of the 80’s.

10. Those who are knowledgeable in the background of the story, you know that my father was wrong seriously ordering the death of those who were their partners and lenders, moncada and galeano. These last few were kidnapped by the cartel of Cali and to have them released alive, they promised to give to Paul and his men at the same time they demanded to cut the whole economic aid. Had phone records showing that change of loyalties. My Father still decided to forgive the life of moncada at the last minute, but by the time he got the order to stop his murder, death had already found. And this was one of the crimes determinants in the fall and the end of my father.

Well... The very first thing on every episode is a disclamer stating that "This television series is INSPIRED by true events. Some of the characters, names, businesses, incidents and certain locations and events HAVE BEEN FICTIONALIZED FOR DRAMATIZATION PURPOSES".
I mean, it never states it is a documentary or anything...
