Rafael Caro Quintero and Vicente Carillo Fuentes, recently expelled from Mexico, appeared in a Brooklyn court to answer charges related to their leadership in drug trafficking cartels. Caro Quintero, responsible for the 1985 murder of DEA agent Enrique Camarena, is seen as a significant figure in the drug trade, while Carillo Fuentes led operations from Juarez. U.S. authorities, celebrating these expulsions as historic, aim to hold the leaders of powerful cartels accountable for their roles in flooding the U.S. with drugs.
Brooklyn U.S. Attorney John Durham emphasized the significance of the expulsions, noting they were historic and marked a turning point in the fight against drug trafficking.
Both men now face serious drug trafficking charges in the U.S., illustrating the ongoing efforts to combat powerful drug cartels and hold leaders accountable.
