Santiago Galán Henau

Santiago Galán Henau was involved in the infamous murder of Colombian footballer Andrés Escobar in 1994, a crime linked to the violent world of drug cartels in Colombia. Galán, along with his brother, allegedly confronted Escobar after a controversial own goal during the 1994 World Cup, which led to Colombia's exit from the tournament. Following the murder, Galán faced legal troubles and was implicated in drug trafficking activities. He was recently reported dead in Mexico, a development noted by Colombian President Gustavo Petro as he reflected on Galán's involvement in the scandal that marred Colombia's international image.
