Griselda Blanco's Life and Legacy Explored in Netflix Series Amid Lawsuit by Surviving Son

The series depicts the rise and fall of the infamous drug lord, while her only surviving son, Michael Corleone Blanco, sues Netflix and Sofia Vergara for alleged unauthorized use of his work.

Griselda Blanco, known as the 'godmother of cocaine', rose to dominate the cocaine trade in Miami in the late 1970s and '80s, amassing a personal fortune and a reputation for indiscriminate brutality.
Blanco's ruthless tactics earned her many enemies and she was eventually arrested in 1985 on cocaine trafficking charges after a decade-long investigation.
Three out of four of Blanco's children, who were involved in her drug business, were killed. Her youngest son, Michael Corleone Blanco, is her only surviving child.
Michael Corleone Blanco is suing Netflix and Sofia Vergara over the series 'Griselda', claiming that the creators used his 'private artistic literary work' without permission or credit.
The series 'Griselda' depicts Blanco's rise and fall, focusing on her ambition, her relationships, her increasing paranoia, and the deadly impact her line of work had on her children.
