Pablo Escobar's waterfront pink mansion in Miami, Florida and many of his properties were seized by the US government in 1987. See the pictures below.
Christian De Berdouare finally bought this pink mansion for US$9.65million in 2014 from a private owner who originally acquired it from the US government.
De Berdouare (above with his pet) wants to build a more modern home on this site, so he decides to demolish the old mansion that sat abandoned for years. Before embarking on the demolition he had hired professional treasure hunters to comb through the old mansion for traces from Escobar's extravagant days.
Journalist Jennifer Valoppi (De Berdouare's wife) said demolition began Tuesday on the mansion of roughly about 6,500 square feet. She also added that a safe (in the pix below) was found along with unusual holes in the floors and walls.
The couple plan to open the safe later today.
