written by David Maas December 6, 2016
In spite of being one of Colombias most feared criminals in history, slain drug lord Pablo Escobars top hitman, Popeye, was robbed at gunpoint in Medellin on Monday.
According to Popeye, two men on motorcycles pulled him over near a shopping center in Medellins Poblado neighborhood, pointed a gun at him and robbed him of his designer glasses, cell phone and gold bracelet.
The former assassin, who has admitted to killing more than 300 people while a member of the now-defunct Medellin Cartel, claimed that three months ago he fended off a similar attack, though police say he did not report the incident.
Following the incident Popeye, whose real name is Jhon Jairo Velasquez, criticized Medellin mayor Federico Gutierrez on the state of security in the city, saying the mayor is an idiot, this city is totally in the hands of these motorcyclists, reported BBC.
