Mexico moves Rafael Caro Quintero from Prison to City Jail
By Alfredo Méndez and Juan Carlos Partida
Crimes include 1985 murder of DEA agent Enrique Camarena
Rafael Caro Quintero, the notorious drug lord of the 1980s, early [on May 31, 2010] was transferred from the [maximum security] Federal Social Rehabilitation Center (Cefereso) of Jalisco to the Guadalajara municipal jail, thanks to a federal court ruling, judicial officials said.
The transfer of the drug dealer to the municipal jail — whiich is not suitable to detain dangerous criminals — was ordered by tthe First Tribunal on Criminal Matters of the Third Circuit Court, that in deciding on an appeal of a claim held that federal and state authorities had failed to demonstrate that Caro Quintero is highly dangerous.
The State of Jalisco Ministry of Public Security reported that Caro Quintero was transferred from the prison after that agency had exhausted all legal means to prevent the transfer of the accused, and following an appeal to the aforementioned court.
Originally from the state of Sinaloa, Rafael Caro Quintero is now 57 years old.
The capo, who headed the former Guadalajara Cartel, is serving 40 years in prison for crimes against health [in Mexico a euphemism for drug-related crimes] and other crimes, including the murder of DEA agent Enrique Camarena, committed on February 8, 1985. The U.S. agent's death is what led to the capture of the Mexican drug trafficker on April 4, 1985, in Costa Rica.
The Fourth District Court of Federal Criminal Processes in Jalisco sentenced Rafael Caro Quintero to 40 years in prison, for various crimes, in June 2009. After 24 years of process, federal judge Adalberto Maldonado Trenado combined five charges against Caro Quintero, and while the corresponding sentence total was 199 years in prison he decided to reduce it to 40 years.
In his ruling, the judge argued that the legislation in force in 1985 applies to this case, thus one could not impose a greater penalty [insofar as the 40 year sentence was the maximum in effect at the time] according to Article 25 of the Federal Penal Code.
The accumulative charges included drug trafficking activities, four murders, depriving 4,000 peasants of their freedom, and the introduction and carrying of prohibited weapons.
The main accusation against Caro Quintero is the abduction of Enrique Camarena, an agent of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and pilot Alfredo Zavala Avelar, on February 7, 1985, and the killing of both the following day, an act that caused the worst bilateral crisis between Mexico and Washington in the past half century.
He was also charged with crimes against health and conspiracy, insofar as between 1976 and 1985 he trafficked in marijuana and cocaine in several states. The Attorney General of the Republic brought another charge against Caro Quintero, because in 1984 he deprived more than 4,000 peasants of liberty, making them work on the El Búfalo ranch in Chihuahua, where the government seized 6,000 tons [12 million pounds] of marijuana, the largest seizure of that drug in world history.

"....DENVER (AP) - A Mexican drug kingpin who led a fearsome cartel

Miguel Angel Caro Quintero pleaded guilty in Denver federal

up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced at a future date.
Prosecutors said the 46-year-old led the Sonora Cartel, which
