Rafael Caro Quintero Wants To Write A Book… And Expose People

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

The so-called "Narco of Narcos" had been preparing a book of his life since 2016 in which he wanted to tell his version of the murder of Enrique Camarena, according to journalist Anabel Hernández

Since 2016, criminal leader Rafael Caro Quintero has been preparing a book about his experiences and the truth of the Camarena case.

DRUG TRAFFICKING

Since at least 2016, Rafael Caro Quintero has been working on writing a book about his life in which one of the main revelations would be his truth about the murder of former DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, according to the journalist Anabel Hernández.

In an interview for "En los Tiempos de la Radio" with Óscar Mario Beteta in Grupo Formula, she interviewed the criminal leader in 2016, after he sent a messenger to the magazine Proceso, for which he collaborated at the time, to demand a right of retort for a note she had posted.

Following that request, she was able to interview Rafael Caro Quintero twice and meet with him twice more between 2016 and 2018; After those meetings, the criminal leader revealed to her that he was interested in writing a book of his memoirs, where he also reiterates his version of the facts about the murder of the former DEA agent.

"In the interview I did with Rafael Caro Quintero, one of the things he affirms is that he did not kill Camarena. 'I was there, in the wrong place, I apologize to the United States government, I apologize to the Camarena family' That is what this supposedly repentant man says, she explained in an interview for Grupo Formula.

"But he says something very interesting. That he has been making a book since at least 2016, he is making the book of his life and that was one of the reasons why I met him four times, because I was interested in knowing the content of this book that I think today must be one of the most sought-after writings and contents by both journalists and authorities," she added.

According to the journalist, in that book that Rafael Caro Quintero was writing, the criminal leader himself stated that he would tell the truth about the Camarena case. "And that it was going to be an uncomfortable truth for many. He says: 'if they want to believe me, fine; if they don't want to believe me, it doesn't matter; but that will be the truth,'" Hernández said.

Rafael Caro Quintero, designated as the founder of the Guadalajara Cartel, was arrested last Friday after having an arrest warrant for the murder of "Kiki" Camarena in 1985, a crime for which he served a 28-year sentence until released in 2013.

Hernández prepares a 'bombshell' against Bartlett for meeting with Rafael Caro Quintero

In her interview, the journalist also announced that as a result of the arrest of Caro Quintero, she is preparing a column that offers testimonies that accuse the current head of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), Manuel Bartlett, met with the former leaders of the 80's drug dealer.

"I am remembering how in 2021 I was able to speak with two men who today will be key in the case of Rafael Caro Quintero: one is Jorge Godoy, the other Ramón Lira, who were bodyguards for Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo in that golden age of the Guadalajara cartel in the 1990s, the 80s, who were ex-police officers from Jalisco at that time and who were paid by these drug traffickers there," she said about the text she is preparing for her collaboration with DW.

She added that according to the testimony of these two characters, they accompanied the capos to parties and work meetings, they witnessed that the then Secretary of the Interior Manuel Bartlett attended some meetings.

"They pointed out to me last year that at these parties and meetings they went and saw with their own eyes nothing more and nothing less than Mr. Manuel Bartlett Díaz. (...) They affirm that they saw him talking on several occasions. And supposedly , according to what these people said, receiving bribes from the members of the Guadalajara Cartel," she commented on the relationship of today's 4T official with Rafael Caro Quintero.

    2. I think we can all agree that every cartel does the same thing in order to benefit from it. Whoever is king of the hill, be it the mighty CDS or CJNG, will inevitably have to deal with challengers at some point or another. To think that either party is better than the other comes down to opinions and personal interests.

I too read it, the information is out there, and read it in here months ago, 8:36 don't let this person scare you from commenting the Truth, yet to say he you are tarnishing BB, not whatsoever. 9:04 believe want to want to believe ,have a nice day.

      Delete
    9. My way or the highway? You're the one who keeps insisting Obradors son illegally purchased a million dollar home in Texas. You asked that I Google it so I googled " Lopez Obrador son Texas home audit" and that's what came up. You're not happy with the results because they don't fit your narrative so now you're trying to discredit BB's credibility. Your accusations don't hold any water... Think about it smarty pants, if there was any type of fraud committed don't you think the U.S Government would be investigating where the money to purchase that home came from? Especially after AMLO kicked out the DEA from mexico, released Cienfuegos and didn't attend the summit of the America's in Los Angeles. You didn't even provide a link, just your stupid opinion. Stop trying to ruin BB's credibility with your false information.

    4. JamesBrown, I watched Carlitos Way as a kid. I remember back then thinking, they should've made a sequel to Carlitos way based on Benny from the Bronx. It would've been cool if the sequel picked up where Benny tells Carlito, "Benny from the Bronx, remember me...BANG!" and goes into a good fellas type narrative. Instead they made a bootleg ass carlitos way 2 that I regretfully bought on DVD.

  7. Unless MBD dies soon and perhaps some other people, I don't think RCQ is going to be extradited. The programming has started and the whole unflattering storyline is being disseminated about "what really transpired". Also remember, for Mexican jurisprudence to maintain or gain credibility it must follow its own laws, it cannot be told to railroad the rights of individuals no matter how unsavory they are.
    Before being sent to USA he will be tried for the two accusations he's accused of in México and he (RCQ) will prefer that. This will be the case for the remainder of AMLO term and if MORENA maintains Los Pinos and possibly RCQ health declines than he will remain in México and Justice will prevail but not on the DEA terms.

Still invested with presidential impunity, LEA and his family of criminals were associated with the drug trafficking as founding members, but worser shit was Carlos Salinas De Gortari as economy minister of presidente Miguel de la Madrid and was in on the Camarena murder, liking his chops for the presidency he had to steal with HELP of Manuel Bartlet Diaz who was also dreaming of becoming Presidente.
