Sounds like a sarcastic response. well I remember when that DEA agent that got killed. That was all over the news and it was a big deal at the time.
Why Mexico would let this guy go free is not clear. I was wondering if anyone else had ideas on this.

I am sorry. You didn't say too much so I misinterpreted your response. It seems Mexico is following in Russia's footsteps...and they are supposed to
be a close ally.

This has nothing to do with the concept that both cartel and political party are back in charge. Of course there is no connection between cartels and
parties.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. On one hand, the man who presumedly had a DEA agent killed is on the street, on the other hand,
if he was released because he was improperly tried in a federal court, perhaps it is a step forward for Mexico in making sure that the rights of the
accused are respected. In Mexico nothing is as it appears, people are routinely convicted on fabricated evidence and coerced confessions, so we really
don't know if they even convicted the right guy in the first place, or if the evidence against him was fabricated to take heat off the politicos.

In a changing judicial system [at least they claim to be slowly changing] everything could be considered wrong as the need arises. If it wasn't
wrong, it wouldn't need to be changed.
The point is, it may not have been wrong at the time, but the reason is just too convenient not to put it to good use.
Of course, a big fat gratuity would be in order. A really really big fat gratuity.

It was his mob that brutally murdered Camarena. That kinda implicates him.
The US cops on a field trip to Mexico snatched the doc who kept Camarena alive for extended torture sessions, and brought him back to the states. I'm
sure they put the heat to his balls for the full story before they had to turn him loose.
There was never any doubt as to Caro's guilt.

Well it's a little late after 28 years to decide to do right by the accused, it's not like they found the DNA of another person or anything. I think
this Edward Snowden thing had something to do with it indirectly, Mexico had issued a statement a few weeks demanding they know the scope and depth of
the spying on Mexico. | Quote: | Originally posted by monoloco

The man started the cartel that morphed into the Sinaloa Cartel. Chapo Guzman, of the Forbes multi-billionaire list, is showing his loyalty, of
course, with the stipulation that Quintero spend the rest of his days enjoying a wealthy inactive retirement.

In the past the U.S. has offered millions in reward and then tried and convicted Drug Kingpin's only to see them on the streets a couple years later.
Why should this case be different.
