"MX" for Borderland Beat
A Mexican federal court rejected a motion issued by Rafael Caro Quintero, who intended to prevent judge Francisco Javier Sarabia Ascencio from presiding in his extradition hearings.
Sarabia Ascencio has presided over Caro Quintero's extradition case over the years and once granted him a petition that slowed his US extradition request. A Mexican media outlet stated that Sarabia Ascensio reportedly received payments from Caro Quintero in exchange for favorable court rulings.
But a few months ago Caro Quintero told the court that he no longer wanted Sarabia Ascencio in his hearings, which suggested a possible fall out with the judge in question.
This is not the first time that Caro Quintero has issued motions to prevent certain judges from presiding in his cases. In 2015, he issued a motion to prevent judges Arturo Zaldivar Lelo de Larrea and Luis Maria Aguilar Morales from having a decision on whether Caro Quintero's extradition was allowed under the US and Mexico Extradition Treaty.
Caro Quintero, the former leader of the Guadalajara Cartel, is wanted for the 1985 murder of US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent Enrique Camarena Salazar.
In 2013, he was freed from a Mexican state jail on a legal technicality, but an arrest warrant was issued by federal authorities a few months after his release. He is currently a fugitive and is believed to be in hiding in Mexico.
If Caro Quintero is ever arrested in Mexico, officials say he will likely be extradited to the US. In the US, he is wanted for kidnapping and murder of a US federal officer, as well as drug trafficking, money laundering and for leading a continuous criminal enterprise.
The US government is offering a US$20 million bounty for his capture. This is the highest reward the U.S. offers for a Mexican criminal.

RCQ is smart. He’s getting his chess pieces ready should he be arrested. Not a lot of narcos do this. But RQC knows what it means to be in prison for so long and I guess that’s made him wiser. Let’s see what happens.
ReplyDelete- El Choclo
RCQ has prob planned for multiple scenarios... if they have trouble in Sonora let’s see what alliance is made... he’s prob preparing money for bribes & any other corrupt services he may need to either fight a war or from getting extradited... it will be interesting to see how it plays out...
Delete-Holden D. Cash
After payoffs, weapon buys, and any other overhead :
ReplyDeleteBoss = 100k yr.
Capo = 50k yr
Soldiers, workers and halcones = 20k to 30k yr.
Business is bussiness, with some murder on the side.
Plenty of sicario’s .. probably the majority of them , get paid much less if anything.
DeleteDamn 100k to risk ur life . Not worth it go to school educate ur self and make money the legit way . I made 85k last year, all honest work. N I’m an green card holder that came here as a child n moved up the working class rank
DeleteDefinitely pesos not us dollars
DeleteThe likelihood of him coming to the States and testifying in open court is about the same as it was for Osama Bin Laden, which is to say, zero.
ReplyDeleteMan that with Osama you gotta explain to me.
DeleteEven if he was brought to the USA he wouldn't testify in open court, they would do him hard and dirty like Chapo.
DeleteOsama was a different deal, he was directly responsible for thousands of deaths and openly challenged the USA. He signed his own death warrant.
I believe 11:28 is saying just like Osama was not going to be caught alive,the same with RCQ..He knows what awaits in the Us and wants no parts of it.
DeleteThe comparison with Bin Laden is nonsense.
DeleteSnitchaloans are not tryna claim RCQ anymore because of the way hes been operating for the last couple years, apparently the buchones are now saying he was born in Michoacan because of his dirty ways? Clowns.
ReplyDeleteChapitos looking weak asf
DeleteEl canas es pedo aparte, es de mayor jerarquía, el sabe cómo operan los del CDS. Varios viejos prefieren no trabajar con sus paisanos
DeleteSnitchaloas and michaocacas should hold hands together
DeleteThey're saying he born el Salvador.
DeleteAnd some people thinks Ndrangheta can compete with mexican cartels..
ReplyDeleteThe Ndrangheta makes more money middling coke shipments and moving in silence and , less violence. No stupid fucking songs about their exploits and far more business acumen and blood ties so less ratfinks to squeal on bosses. They supply Canada which means they supply The entire eastern seaboard of the US through the ports in Montreal. Also Europe, through Antwerp and Rotterdam or via west Africa through Cape Verde which is a narco state along with Senegal
Delete. They provide more than 80% of coke in Europe via alliance with Balkan gangs who distribute the drug across Britain, Germany and Eastern Europe also Russia. They deal directly with source groups like FARC and Mexicans Gangs who cultivate in Ecuador Colombia and Venezuela. Sicilians (Rizzutos) still hold some sway in Montreal with an alliance with Haitian gangs, Hells and the Irish west end gang who have monopolized the port and tax gangs to get their shipments through. Nrangheta operate out of Toronto (Commissos and Figliomeni)who report directly to the Siderno group in Italy. Gambling and coca Bring them billions, and they don’t have to pay a fucking mercenary army to fight over territory.

7:08 is correct
Delete7:08 they are just lucky that the mexicans do business with them! But if we talk about war.. ndrangheta and other groups are easy targets for the cartels!
Delete7:08 blood ties? Give me a break,this shit is a Achilles heel for any organization
Delete7:08 the money not going to save your a$$ from the bullets
Delete7:08 PM You forgot the most important thing their leadership are Masons. They are the government that is why they are able to operate the way they do. It is the same with El Mayo Zambada the dude is a Mason you have Turkish islamists praising him while throwing up their devil horn sign they call it a grey wolf but everyone with a brain knows what they are throwing up.
Delete10:06 they do business with Colombians . Mexican do run anything in Europe neber have never will
Delete2:35 you right..the masons are real power! The masonic shit is includes a lot of crime groups: the cartels,russians,italians,muslims,and other groups who operated hand to hand with politicians and corporations! Some colombians nowdays in the way they're operate even have nickname "the invisibles",but i think same shit we can tell about other crime groups who operates under the radar!
Delete2:35 just see it right now,the turks really praises to el mayo
DeleteHope they find him and send Chapo a friend in prison for Life
ReplyDeleteEdits should learn to quit while ahead but no they go killing because of egos greed and stupid material crap
A court here, there, or anywhere, but especially Brown care can't move a man from his land. Just in case you don't know Caro did el paro and so Jefito can't get desafado.
ReplyDeleteThis is the Smarts guy in Mexico, never get caught
ReplyDeleteHe was caught once before and spent a quarter of a century in prison. Not so smart.
DeleteCaro Quintero is Salvadorian
