El Armadillo for Borderland Beat
Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo, better known as Don Neto, one of the original architects of Mexico’s modern drug trade, is now a free man. According to Reforma, as of April 5, 2025, Fonseca Carrillo has fully served his sentence and is no longer under any legal restrictions in Mexico. At 95 years old, the former Guadalajara Cartel boss was released after serving 40 years for his role in one of the most infamous cases in narco history: the 1985 abduction and murder of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena and his pilot Alfredo Zavala.
Fonseca was captured on April 7, 1985, by the Mexican military in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.
In 2016, due to his age and deteriorating health, Fonseca was transferred to house arrest in a residential area of Mexico State. Don Neto is the uncle of former Juárez Cartel leaders Amado Carrillo Fuentes and Vicente Carrillo Fuentes.
His release coincides with a pivotal moment for Mexico’s criminal landscape, as the Trump administration looks to take a more aggressive approach toward the cartels, including terrorist designations. Freedom for Fonseca comes just two months after fellow Guadalajara Cartel co-founder Rafael Caro Quintero was extradited to the United States. Vicente Carrillo Fuentes was also extradited, along with 29 other high-profile cartel figures.
In March 2025, the family of Enrique "Kiki" Camarena filed a civil lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California against Rafael Caro Quintero, Ernesto "Don Neto" Fonseca Carrillo, Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, and the Sinaloa Cartel. The suit alleges that these individuals and the cartel are responsible for the 1985 abduction, torture, and murder of DEA agent Camarena.
The legal action seeks compensation for both past and future pain and suffering endured by Camarena's family due to his death. The plaintiffs are requesting damages, including compensatory and punitive damages, with the exact amount to be determined by the court.
This lawsuit was made possible by the Trump administration's designation of Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. This designation allows U.S. citizens to pursue legal action against these groups under the federal Anti-Terrorism Act.
Notably, this would not be the first time Fonseca Carrillo has been ordered to compensate Camarena's family. In 2017, a Mexican judge mandated that he pay 20.8 million pesos (approximately $970,000 USD) to the families of both Camarena and his pilot, Alfredo Zavala.
While he may be a free man in Mexico, he remains wanted by U.S. authorities for his role in Camarena's murder, though it is unclear if extradition will be pursued.
there's no harm in this, 95 year old man is no threat to anyone. but people will still freak out like it's so wrong to let him go home.
ReplyDeleteTry to keep up, he has NOT been forgiven for his heinous crimes.
Deletewhen they "let someone out" at the end of their life like this it means they're half dead as it is so it doesn't matter. it has nothing to do with forgiveness. the people actually dealing with this guy day to day probably already look at him and see more of a corpse than a man.
Deleteif you want some sort of Charles Bronson style justice for guys like this (you shouldn't, their lives revolved around luxury and pleasure and depriving them of it for the rest of their lives gets to them more than the idea of dying) you technically miss your opportunity the day they turn 75
Shut up
DeleteThis will be a CIA Black Bag operation. They will grab him in Mexico and he will live his last days in USA.
ReplyDeleteCIA SAC Ground Branch Operator SIC# 006 is just waiting for the confirmation message on his NSA /Mossad modified 6g highly encrypted tactical smartphone. There is a black hawk helicopter waiting .
Gosh! I miss Sicario006 comments.
Now put him on a plane and let him die in a US prison where he always belonged.
ReplyDeleteGoof
Delete943 hope they put kiki Camarena's personal handcuffs on this elderly cuntface, just like when they put 'em on his braindead nephew RCQ when he got his own sorry ass shipped up north..
DeleteKiki's son honored his father's memory by keeping his nose clean, studying hard, getting a law degree, and has been a prosecutor in South Bay, San Diego for some years..
His pop would have been proud..
Mesicans call handcuffs "esposas", presumably because you get 'married' to them, jaja!
🦎
943 agreed
Delete10:59 he’s not going anywhere. You sound like another hating ass Central American. Goddamn boy these tun-tuns don’t let up
Delete@10.59. Mesicans? Yet another teenage US racist troll thrilled by the fact they can spew their ignorant shit anonymously. Why do you little pricks NEVER have anything to say about the subject involved? Is it because you just don't know what you're talking about?
Delete@10.49. Lettuce/Lizard dude would never have spewed that shit. So many cowards on here pretending to be other people.
DeleteWill he get back in the game and usher in a golden age?
ReplyDeleteWhy not, 90 is the new 50.
DeleteLove or hate him, ya gotta admit el abuelito has had a pretty long run
Delete10:24 lol
DeleteAt age 95, your mind is enveloped in a deep brain fog that hampers the slightest thought processes from occuring.
DeleteYou can stare out the window at the birds in the trees or traffic rolling by, but that's about it.
He's probably got absolutely no clue as to what's going on around him.
Wrong. It depends. I met a women who was 105. Talking to her was like talking to a teenager. Her mind was all there
Delete@10:24 haha
Delete@everyone else, I hope he does a full debrief interview. I wanna know just how involved and how clueless they were of the a clandestine operations from both countries
This scumbag does not deserve to see the light of day. If the Kiki Camanera family wants this guy dead I am sure they can find someone in Mexico to do the deed for about five thousand dollars. It would be a piece of cake job. They can make it look like he died in his sleep. Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDeleteBut yet! He is free and your stupid ass comment is irrelevant!
DeleteNuff Said!!! Irrelevant?
DeleteThat's crazy talk!
You seem to be a bit confused about which side sicario 006's team is working for!
ReplyDeleteLegend
ReplyDeleteYour mom Is a legend if you know what I mean ;)
Delete11:31 callese alv zopilote del basurero.
DeleteLegend? Don't you mean Murderer?
Delete10:33 can't read or comprehend words or sentences.... Fonseca isn't RCQ's tio pendejo,imbecil,inutil,inserbible,idiota!!!
ReplyDeleteWe're pretty sure Rafa is Don Neto's nephew!
DeleteIf the 🦎 lizard says they're nephew &uncle, I believe him.
Delete12:05
DeleteYou spelled inservible wrongly
Don Neto is the uncle of former Juárez Cartel leaders Amado Carrillo Fuentes and Vicente Carrillo Fuentes.
DeleteWtf is wrong with you....
Don Neto pretend uncle of young Rafa
Delete@12.15. That isn't the Lizard Dude, it's another dipshit imposter, unless Lizard Dude had a stroke and woke up as a teenage bigot chuckling about "Mesicans", and googling stories he doesn't understand. Lizard Dude was facetious, but he was smart. That kid's a clown.
Delete@923
Deletefake Lizard 🦎 lagarto is king! 👑
The 🦎 lizard, although obviously a troubled, deranged individual, is no racist!
DeleteIn fact, although he can easily afford to ship in servants from anywhere in the world to be groveling at his beck & call, he makes it a point to ONLY hire the local tribespeople to staff his crumbling, "golden age" hacienda in once-fabulous Acapulco!
Caso cerrado! 🌴⛳🦐
The DEA has 1942 as the year of his birth. He might be in his early 80's.
ReplyDelete80s
DeleteThat makes a lot more sense.
He may be 112 years old.
DeleteMost sources say he was born in 1930, either way, this cat's no spring chicken🐔
ReplyDeleteHe's basically a dessicated lizard.
DeleteWith the morals of a turnip.
DeleteGod bless Don Neto with good health.
ReplyDeleteWorry not. As you simper and abase yourself before Don Neto God will look down at him, then look down at the 2 dozen exploited innocent teenagers who were tortured and throttled and buried in a Colima field. Then He will decide whether or not the vicious paranoid fucker who ordered it deserves "good health" in his final months. Release the old bastard into a field like that (there are many, many more) and let the mothers of those kids- grandmothers now- decide his fate. I doubt they'll be so fawning.
DeleteSimper THIS!!!
DeleteFunny, the gringos all believe in God but have no idea how it works. It doesn't matter how many people he's killed, if he really repents, he'll go to heaven! That is how it works!
DeleteLook at how many fucking morons are rooting for this old fart?The old fart who helped form cartels?
ReplyDeleteCant have it both ways maybe this is one of the main reasons for rampant criminality in mexico
Wow 95 about 25 more years of life to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWhich other capos came out of the Guadalajara cartel?
ReplyDelete...guy named Joaquin Guzman
DeletePedro Avilés Perez
DeleteNo salta el disco wey!! No brinca!!!!
ReplyDeleteI’m going to look for him I will push him in a wheel chair
ReplyDeleteCouple of names that need to posted here Félix Ismael Rodríguez Mendigutia, who ordered the kidnapping and torture of Kiki Camarena to see how much the DEA knew about the illegal covert activities of the CIA fighting the Sandinistas and Ricardo Rosete the connective tissue between Columbia and Mexico opening the spigot on Reina via Trampolina flooding tons of cocaine into the US with CIA backing.
ReplyDeleteThis is all nonsense, if the cia wants to find out what the dea knows, there were much easier ways to get this info. But then it wouldn't be so exciting.
