"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat
Attempts by Rafael Caro Quintero, one of Mexico's biggest drug traffickers on record, to avoid being sent to the United States have been constant. He has even sought to take his legal situation to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) to stop a possible extradition.
Judicial records indicate that the founder of the Guadalajara Cartel and accused of the alleged kidnapping and murder of a federal DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, in 1985, has filed a total of 19 amparo lawsuits before the federal justice system.
Most of them have been to avoid being sent and tried for various crimes in the U.S., but others seek to revoke the arrest warrant issued against him for organized crime and drug trafficking and some others to guarantee him better health services in the maximum security prison of Altiplano, in Almoloya de Juarez, State of Mexico.
Just last June 3, a federal court denied him an injunction against an alleged arrest warrant for extradition to the United States.
The magistrates of the Second Collegiate Court in Criminal Matters of the State of Mexico unanimously confirmed the decision of Judge Tania Rosalinda Méndez, in Federal Amparo Proceedings in the State of Mexico, who refused to grant the drug trafficker amparo protection.
A month earlier, the Supreme Court refused to review an injunction filed by Caro Quintero's lawyers against his extradition to the United States.
Of the 19 amparos filed by the drug trafficker's lawyers, only 5 have been resolved against him, the rest are ongoing in courts and tribunals in the State of Mexico, Jalisco and Mexico City.
How was Caro Quintero's capture and recapture?
Caro Quintero was the founder of the Guadalajara cartel along with Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo and Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo, with whom he began working in the 1970s. During the 1980s, he acquired so much power that he was nicknamed: "Narco de Narcos" (Narco of Narcos).
He was arrested in San José, Costa Rica, on September 18, 1985 and later extradited to Mexico.
On December 12, 1989, Caro Quintero was sentenced for the crimes of kidnapping, aggravated homicide, planting, growing, harvesting, transporting and trafficking marijuana, supplying cocaine and criminal association. He was sentenced to 40 years in prison.
He was in the Federal Center for Social Readaptation of Altiplano, in the State of Mexico. In 2007 he was transferred to the maximum security prison of Puente Grande, where he was held until 2010, when he was transferred to the Guadalajara Preventive Prison.
Caro Quintero spent 28 years in prison and was released by a judge.
On August 9, 2013, Rafael Caro Quintero was released after serving 28 years in prison. A court in Guadalajara ordered his immediate release because it considered that the murder of the U.S. agent in February 1985 should have been tried in the common courts and not in the federal courts.
On July 15, 2022, one of the most wanted drug lords in Mexico and the United States was recaptured while hiding in the bushes of the town of San Simon, in Choix, Sinaloa.
Following his recapture, U.S. authorities indicated that they will request Caro Quintero's extradition for the DEA agent's crime, which is a federal crime in the United States.
Caro Quintero is also charged with cocaine trafficking, running a "criminal enterprise", i.e. a cartel, criminal association and violent crimes, as well as kidnapping and murder.
What's the point if they still be giving out orders from USA prisions just like GANG Generals in pelican bay if the USA can't control those gangmembers from giving out orders what males You think they can stop powerful drug barons like Chapo n Caro
ReplyDeletechapo aint controllin shit from florence lmao
Delete8:56 i just so everyone knows i'm not same person saying el chapo still giving orders from his cell there is several people here who know these is true and speak on it if not millions people here trying to make me look crazy
Delete100% chapos doing nothing but talking to his shadow 8:56
DeleteYes you dummy. These mass killing mass raping mass kidnapping punks are COMPLETELY stopped once they are entombed in the American made concrete and steel tomb called ADX Florence. Those fucking dirt farmers are CRUSHED once USA can get our hands on them. Do you think even if it’s possible that a guard at Florence would risk his pension vacation fed benefits your a fucking idiot. There will always be the rare fed employee that’ll take some bribe but it isn’t Mexico where they make dog shit money USA fed employees make good money great benefits great protection and the best pension
DeleteTurn off the fucking Netflix shit
@12:18 if you really think being in adx Florence stops criminals from sending or communicating with other people. You need to turn your wifi off stop thinking everything you read online is real. You need to calm down your blood pressure going up sheesh getting all worked up over nothing.
Delete1:13
DeleteThey don't give orders if they're in the maximum security part of ADX.
@5:48 Thanks for reminding folks that ADX Florence has different incarceration levels. Not everyone there is doomed to languish in the concrete catacombs for the remainder of their lives.
DeleteXaro is in El Paso tx with laGente property of triple b
ReplyDeleteNo he's Not... He's gonna die in Federal prison
ReplyDeleteI’m still not 100% sure caro killed the DEA agent. Heard stories about the U.S GOV being involved. I know this case will for ever be a top secret under the sheets type of case.
ReplyDeleteCaro should’ve just committed suicide, a lot of narcos his age prefer being killed or commit suicide than end up their whole lives in prison walls.
ReplyDeleteLike who?
DeleteI’ve been checking out this site since 2009 when Buggs and Chivis were very active .. over the years I’ve noticed a lot of readers developing straight up hatred toward people from Sinaloa ..my family being from Badiraguato (now in Phoenix), I can feel that there is a straight up envy that outsiders have towards Sinaloans and people from Triangulo Dorado (Durango and Chihuahuas) only because these territories are synonymous with narcos and a violent culture. Let me tell you there is far more to Sinaloa and it’s surroundings than narcos, it’s a damn shame that we have this stigma that is clearly stunting the growth of our people, our communities our suffering because of it and yet I can sense the envy from people foreign to this area of Mexico wishing that they’re home state or region would be as “narco-glamorous” as Sinaloa .. people from michoacan and Guerrero etc. boasting about how they also have narcos not just Sinaloa, they hate so much on Sinaloa wishing they could be the same .. who the fuck cares ? If y’all want to be recognized world wide as the cradle of the Mexican underworld go right ahead, wear the crown but quit hating on sinaloenses that don’t give a rats ass about it … the level of ignorance is astonishing .. It’s like fighting over who can crap-out the biggest turd .. yes CDS is still the most powerful but guess what they kidnap, extort, rape, murder innocents and it’s true that they have a media blackout state-wide, if this is what y’all envy .. I really wish y’all could take it with y’all and keep it forever … pendejos
ReplyDelete2:24 nope
Delete2:24 the dislike comes from sinaloas being extra flashy, show offs just because their state (sinaloa) once was the dominant cartel.. the guys from Durango and chihuahua also got heat for bring proud of cds taking their state.
DeleteNo envy, some people just don't like ignorance 🙄
Sorry you have to endure that. I'm from Cleveland Ohio but spent 7 or so years in Glendale Az. The majority of sinaloense are hard working family men and woman. I knew a few that were into so me shady business but they were nice as people to a skinny white boy that speaks Spanish. I like Mexicans over most Caucasians because they work hard and they had my back when needed. I said a prayer that your gente abroad stays safe. God bless. Not a Bible thumper either.
Delete2:24 y'all😆(Sinaloas) are narcissistic like that to think anyone else cares much less envy's your state, customs and culture. The hate that's deservedly directed at your people is the crime your criminals spread to other communities.
DeleteBCN, Sonora and Chihuahua can attest to what I write. Sinaloas think money equals or exceeds class and education. That's basically their whole reality. How many generations of drug peddlers have been engaged in that activity? Too many spreading their ignorance.
Next thing you'll claim is Sinaloas built Phoenix. Even if it were the case, I wouldn't live in that blazing desert even if paid to. ✌️
@9:26, What part of Parma are you from.
Delete@11:26 .. wtf are you talking about, my family is from Juarez and I can tell you that criminals are criminals no matter where the fuck they’re from. During the peak of the Juarez Drug War the local cartel was extorting, kidnapping, and murdering non-involved civilians just as much if not more than CDS .. when dealing with shit no matter if the smell is different it’s still shit homie .. how about you grow up first and then comment .. there is a whole lot of truth on what Mr.2:24 posted.
Delete@7:35 .. I’m a teacher from Durango, there is no sense of pride amongst 99% of our populacion over who runs drugs here. no mas a gente ignorante e imbecil les importa esas mamadas, haci igualito como tu que has de ser de un pinche estado del sur todo pedorro y te alucinas con ser narco, mejor de andar de alucin y orgulloso de los huevos de otro pendejo póngase a estudiar y dejar de pensar que toda la gente es igual de ignorante que usted, en Durango Chihuahua y Sinaloa hay mucha gente que les vale madre la vida narco, no hay que generalizar
DeleteNow you're from Juarez huh🤔. No actually a teacher from Durango too. Nobody cares. This is the internet, quit being so sentimental about what unknown people write.
DeleteAfter chapo got captured and cried like a baby 👶 😢 you sinaloas have been REALLY quiet hahaha
DeleteI live Phoenix AZ and even went to Maricopa County jail 15 years ago when CDS was at its peak and every sinaloa thought they were the shit because of their narco cultural.
Maybe in Mexico you sinaloas are humble but here in Phoenix I can attest your people thought you were the sh!t.. in county you s8naloas would click up with sonoras and chihuahuas and talk shut about m3xicans from the south. As a paisa I felt the disconnect right away when I told them where i was from. They got some guys from chiapas and started beating him but those chumps got scared of me since I was fresh out the military and was big. I can write a book of how most people from sinaloa were pieces of 💩...
Now they are not as flashy or think they are better but at the CDS prime them corridos had them in the clouds lol
8:58, dices que dejen de generalizar, pero acusas al camarada de ser de un estado del sur. Esa logica es pero retependeja neta. Estoy de acuerdo con 2:24 un poco, hay mucha envidaia o algo contra los sinaloenses. Y yo y mi familia no somos de ahi. Orgullosamente Tamaulipeco!!! Pero si he mirado ese comportamiento encontra sinaloa, el odio y envidia. Al igual lo e mirado contra Tamaulipas, pero no tan comun como conta Tamaulipas. No entiendo ni el idio ni envidia a otro estado ni otra persona, y espero que nunca lo entienda.
DeleteSinaloas are narcissistic af
Delete@2:56 ..That’s how it is in county amongst the paisas… you have Sinaloas, Sonoras, Chihuahuas and Durangos against GTO, Michoacán, Guerrero and Jalisco everyone else picks a side. Dumb shit for realz, goes to show you how much attention we humans give to our differences instead of our similarities.
Delete2:24 no one outside of Mexico knows about Sinaloa sorry for your loss
DeleteFunny bc chihuahua people hate sinaloas
DeleteNobody cares about sinaloas, everyone knows they are all talk.
DeleteI know many sinaloas and some are cool,the women are pretty but too friendly if you know what I mean 😉
Nary to see freedom again.
ReplyDeleteHow can he be extradited if he has a sentence given upon him in Mexico already
ReplyDeleteSimple. They just extradite him regardless of his sentence.
DeletePinche viejillo culero.
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteGreed is a mans worse enemy! Government, average joe , all walks of life !!! Something to thing about ! Goodnight y'all
ReplyDeleteCaro Quintera owned a farm next to USA military base in Mexico. If I can remember the place, I will post it. Mencho had 600 citizens who applied for normal work, trained to be his security. Or murdered when they tried to escape, this all right under the nose of usa military. Who were next to it, and heard the executions and know where all the bodies were dumped. That's why Quintet and Mencho have this mutual respect for eachother. And that's why Quintet has never been extradited. He knows too much.
ReplyDeleteAfter michoacanos showed those snitches from sinaloa competition. Those chinolas got humbled hahaha
ReplyDeleteEven their corridos changed 🤣
They stopped saying they were the hardest toughest and smartest.
Good job mencho 👍
