A few days ago we gave you details about La Mansión de la Fantasía, the luxurious and eccentric residence of a Colombian drug trafficker. Harold Mauricio Poveda Ortegabetter known as “El Conejo”, in Desierto de los Leones in Mexico City, which attracted attention for its size, as well as the presence of a zoo, a suspension bridge, and even a sauna inside a cave.
A house that was confiscated by the authorities in 2008 and in which about 7,000,000 US dollars, now it looks in ruins and in complete disrepair, as we could see in some of the aerial and interior camera shots taken by the Mexican newspaper Milenio.
“Although he remains insured, he has not received service for many years. The main door is chained, and what was once a fine stable now serves as a warehouse for what was insured by the then Attorney General of the Republic. A few meters away, you can see the cages that housed the wild animals, as well as the fiberglass hippo and crocodile figurines that once adorned the pond,” the aforementioned newspaper reported, showing some aspects of the site.
As with the green spaces, the main house, known as Valentina and built of wood and volcanic rock, is also in a similarly dilapidated state.
“Despite its carelessness, the juicy remnants that once adorned it still lie within. On the first level, large wood-carved windows, a breakfast area and white armchairs. To the second level there is a spiral staircase, a room with a bar counter and a bathroom with a luxurious wooden bathtub. On the third floor, the master bedroom stands out with a wooden base attached to the floor and a privileged view. From the air, you can clearly see the swimming pool and jacuzzi, located on one side of the complex, which also has a sauna. El Conejo, on the other hand, has built its own table dance with a bar, steel pipe and four bathrooms,” a Milenio reporter says.
Inside an exotic home, “El Conejo”, believed to be one of the Beltrán Leyva cartel’s main cocaine suppliers, was arrested on October 22, 2008 while celebrating his girlfriend’s birthday.
In recent days, the fearsome drug dealer has made the news again because he burst into tears during his appearance at the trial of Genaro Garcia Luna, but his tears were not of regret, but because he saw again his impressive home, where he had lions, tigers, panthers, hippos and other exotic animals.
