While we found no online information on where Mirtha Jung’s (George Jung's ex-wife) current residence is located, anecdotal sources suggest that daughter Kristina Jung is currently living in California together with her husband and children.
Kristina Jung identifies herself on Facebook as a ‘writer & poetess'.
In an interview with George Jung by KTEP Local aired on October 19, 2023, he said that he is residing in the Bay area in San Francisco. And when asked about him living with her daughter, he said that "she lives close by and she has a life of her own..."
George Jacob Jung also known as Boston George, was one of the biggest c0caine smugglers ever. In the 1970s and early 1980s Jung was a member of the famous Medellin Cartel, which was responsible for over 85 percent of all the c0caine on the US market.
He became famous to the big public in 2001 after his life story was portrayed in the hit movie “Blow”, starring Johnny Depp as Jung and Penélope Cruz as Jung’s Colombian wife.
Jung was originally sentenced for 60 years in prison, but two decades later, the former drug kingpin got released after testifying against his former accomplice.
After being released from prison, Jung starred in a reality TV series, imaginatively titled "Poverty Sųcks".
The reality TV series saw the former comrade of Pablo Escobar attempting to return a normal life by opening a checking account, shopping for groceries and not controlling one of the largest drug empires in global history.
As well as this, the series follows Jung as he attempts to heal his relationship with his estranged daughter.
In December 2016, it was reported that George Jung was back in jail for violating his parole, but he blamed it all on his manager.
As reported by TMZ, George took a trip to San Diego to make a little cash for appearing at an event. We're told he couldn't get a hold of his parole officer, but Jung says his manager insisted it'd be okay ... since it was only a 4 hour work trip.
That wasn't the case. He was arrested when he got home to Sacramento.
According to jail records ... George, who was released in 2014 after serving 20 years for running drugs, was booked in Sacramento County jail on Dec. 6. He's not eligible for bail, given his record, so he's still behind bars until his next court date.
