Los Pepes, a name derived from the Spanish phrase Los Perseguidos por Pablo Escobar (English: Those Persecuted by Pablo Escobar), was a paramilitary group composed of enemies of Pablo Escobar. They waged a small-scale war against the Medellín Cartel in 1993, which ended the same year following the death of Escobar. The group was financed by the Cali Cartel and was led by the Castaño brothers. An example of their acts could be seen on the streets of Medellín, such as hangings of Pablo's hitmen.
