Rafael Caro Quintero, a notorious Mexican drug lord and the US Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) most wanted criminal, was arrested this Friday in northern Mexico. The arrest of the 69-year-old trafficker came eight years after his release from prison.
according to daily mail, a search dog named Max, was responsible for finding Caro Quintero hiding in a wooded area in the town of San Simon, Sinaloa. There were two arrest warrants waiting for the fugitive, as well as an extradition request from the US government, according to which a $20 million reward was offered to anyone who found him.
The drug dealer was wanted for the kidnapping and murder of Enrique Camarena, an agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration, in 1985, as well as other crimes related to organized crime and drug trafficking. The founder of the Guadalajara Cartel, Caro Quintero was one of the first to ship drugs in large quantities to the United States, being one of the top names in the drug trade in the 1980s.
Now, according to the authorities, the “kapo” will remain in a maximum security prison in the Altiplano, about 80 kilometers from Mexico City.
