Pablo Escobar's hit man caught partying with drug lord
Bogota: Colombian authorities are seeking to re-arrest a former hit man for the late drug lord Pablo Escobar for violating his parole after he was caught partying with a major drug trafficker.
The chief prosecutor's office said on Saturday that John Jairo Velasquez's presence at a raucous birthday party for Juan Carlos Mesa constituted a "very serious" offence.
Velasquez, known by his nickname, "Popeye", was paroled in 2014 after confessing to hundreds of murders and spending 22 years in jail for plotting the murder of a former Colombian presidential candidate.
Since being released Velasquez has gained notoriety as a YouTube star who espouses conservative political views and hate-filled diatribes against leftist rebels and Venezuela's socialist government.

Pablo's infamous three musketeers. These sociopaths were the most trusted, responsible for a very large
portion of the violence that plagued Medellín. From left to right: Arete, "El Negro" Pabon, and Popeye
