Roberto Escobar, the brother of the late Colombian drug trafficker Pablo Escobar, has sued Apple for $ 2.6 billion because he allegedly ‘hacked’ his mobile phone and his life was threatened.
According to the lawsuit, which is echoed by the TMZ portal, Roberto bought an iPhone X in April 2018 and a year later received a letter from a person identified as Diego, who had found his address through Facetime, threatening him with death. .
Roberto explained in the complaint that he had to change his address and that he suffered “emotional distress” due to the lack of security, which led him to invest “a lot of money” in reinforcing it.

The brother of the famous drug trafficker also indicated that before buying the cell phone he had already suffered several assassination attempts and that if he acquired the iPhone X it was because they assured him that the hackers could not access the device.

But the story does not just stay in demand. Roberto has released his own Escobar Gold 11 PRO, which is actually a 256GB iPhone 11 Pro, gold plated and limited edition. His company, Escobar Inc, sells it for $ 499. In a promotional video several women in bikini appear bathing and sunbathing in a pool, while using the ‘Escobar Gold’. According to him, it is a way to fight Apple.
Last March, the famous ‘youtuber’ Marques Brownlee took apart a ‘smartphone’ from the Escobar company and discovered that it was a Samsung Galaxy Fold with gold stickers. “They are trying to scam you,” he said.
The Escobar Inc company has its offices in Medellín, Colombia, and on its website they boast profits of more than 100 billion dollars since its foundation in 1984.
