translated from Spanish: Rafael Caro Quintero is the most sought after now by the DEA

Former Guadalajara Cartel leader Rafael Caro Quintero is now the most wanted fugitive by the U.S. Drug Control Administration (DEA), which offers up to $20 million for information to help capture it.
Caro Quintero is also wanted by the FBI, who in 2018 increased the reward for his capture, as he seeks him for his alleged involvement in the kidnapping and murder of DEA special agent Enrique Camarena Salazar in 1985.
The DEA also accuses him of violent crimes in aid of organized crime, such as for possession to distribute marijuana and cocaine in the United States.
Caro Quintero had been sentenced to 40 years in prison for camarena’s murder. In 2013, he was released from prison after 28 years in prison when a federal court in Jalisco granted him protection in the case of the murder of the DEA agent arguing that the victim held no diplomatic office, so the kingpin’s immediate release was ordered; year and a half later his reappearance was ordered.
For U.S. authorities, Caro Quintero is “one of the Mexican drug godparents, and helped form the Guadalajara Cartel in the late 1970s. It supposedly became one of the leading suppliers of heroin, cocaine and marijuana in the United States.”

In November 1984, mexican authorities raided a marijuana planting owned by Caro Quintero, a fact that held Camarena accountable for the Guadalajara Cartel, and decided to retaliate.
On June 30, 1992, the United States District Court, Central District of California, issued a federal arrest warrant in which she accused Caro Quintero of committing violent crimes, organized crime, conspiracy to kidnap a federal agent, kidnapping and murdering a federal agent.
Behind Caro Quintero, on the DEA list is followed by Ismael ‘el Mayo’ Zambada García, leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, who has never set foot in prison.
