Rodrigo Omar Páez Quintero, alias "El R", nephew of Rafael Caro Quintero, was extradited to the United States government, requested by the Federal District Court for the District of Arizona, for the crimes of criminal association and against health.
Rodrigo "P" was handed over at the Toluca International Airport in the State of Mexico to the U.S. agents designated for his transfer to that country.
In a press release, the Attorney General's Office (FGR) informed that it extradited a Mexican fugitive wanted by the Federal District Court in Arizona.
Rodrigo "P", between 2017 and 2019, was one of the leaders of a drug trafficking organization in Mexico, located in Caborca, Sonora. The extraditable was in charge of directing and supervising drug trafficking activities, and money laundering, according to the FGR.
The Mexican Government granted the extradition of the defendant to the Government of the United States of America after he was arrested in Zapopan, Jalisco in April 2023.
