A major breakthrough has been made in the case of a double homicide that took place in the United States. Rafael Caro-Quintero, a notorious Mexican cartel leader and former FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitive, has been apprehended in Mexico.
According to the Department of Justice, Caro-Quintero was charged with conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering, murder in aid of racketeering, and other related charges. The charges stem from his alleged involvement in the 1985 kidnapping and murder of a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent.
The apprehension of Caro-Quintero is a significant development in the case, which has been ongoing for decades. The FBI had been searching for him since 1985, when he was first added to the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.
The Department of Justice has released a statement confirming Caro-Quintero’s capture and thanking the Mexican authorities for their assistance in the matter. The case is ongoing, and further details will be released as they become available.
