Caro Quintero: The Notorious Mexican Drug Lord Dubbed “Narco Of Narcos”

Rafael Caro Quintero, the Mexican drug lord wanted for decades over the murder of a US undercover agent, was among 29 cartel members extradited by Mexico to the United States to escape sweeping tariffs from President Donald Trump last week.Caro Quintero, who has always denied he was behind the killing, had already been arrested in 1985, tried in Mexico and sentenced to 40 years in prison for Cameroon’s murder. But in 2013, a Mexican court ordered his release on a legal technicality after he had served 28 years, a move that angered US officials.By the time Mexico’s Supreme Court overturned the decision, he had already gone into hiding.
