The Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador justifió el mercoles el fallo que de 2013 dejó en libertad al capo Rafael Caro Quintero, one of the narcotraficants more searched by state authorities, ‘n pesar de que la Suprema Corte de Justicia de México dictaminó posteriormente que fue un error.
The capo is at the top of the list of the most searched by the DEA, and is receiving a compensation of 20 million dollars for his capture.
El miercoles, López Obrador dijo that the legal recourse that leads to the release of Caro Quintero was “justified” because it has not been dictated by any sentence against the head of state 27 years ago. The mandate also refers to an order of posterior re-representation as an example of the pressure exerted by the United States.
“Once upon a time, there was a new wave of demand from the United States that was not released, but the procedure was legal,” said López Obrador.
Jesús Ramírez, spokesman for the presidency, said that López Obrador “only signaled that there was a legal aberration that he had not dictated his sentence to Caro Quintero 27 years later … but he did not defend his release ”.
It is a court of law, but a court of appeals of Mexico has ruled that it is dictated by the equated court.
In August 2013, the Court of Appeals revoked the sentence of 40 years in custody of Caro Quintero by the caretaker of Camarena and a pilot of the Mexican government. The panel alleges that a tribunal ruled in favor of the case, and not a federal one, and ordered its immediate release of a maximum security prison.
When I despised, the Supreme Court of Mexico annulled the order that it had released, stating that Camarena was an agent of the governing state and, for that matter, its homicide constituted a federal offense, and added that it had been prosecuted. If an issue is issued order of appraisal against Caro Quintero, who has been released since his release.
His release, carried out during the night, abused by the governor and surpassed the Mexican taxpayers, who were notified at the time they left.
Since its release, Caro Quintero has superstitiously formed alliances with other drug trafficking cards, and has established operations in the northern state of Sonora, to appear to give territory to the houses of ‘El Chapo’ and the Sinaloa card.
29 years ago in a Mexican prison, I was able to recover my activities during also lost his old contacts in the hemp, Signal Ray Donovan, Director of the DEA’s Office in New York, gave a preview interview with Univision Noticias.
I have four years ago, Caro Quintero specializes in marijuana traction, but now also cocaine, methane and methane. “It’s like a traditional cartel,” explains Donovan.
In 2016, three years after his release, the drug addict Rafael Caro Quintero dijo in an interview that quería vivir su vejez en paz, lejos del crimen organisato y de las accusaciones que que ordendeo assassinate de agent de la DEA Enrique ‘Kiki’ Camarena en 1985.
It’s not the first time that López Obrador has been involved in controversy over decisions or expressions about narcotics. From the beginning of its administration, it has been publicly reported that the Mexican governor is not interested in detaining drug traffickers.
In 2019, López Obrador ordered the release of Ovidio Guzmán, hijacker of drug addict Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán, to avoid a bloodbath.
