Highlights
- The FBI added longtime Mexican cartel leader Rafael Caro Quintero to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list on April 12 and increased the reward for his capture to $20 million.
- After the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration tracked Caro Quintero down in Costa Rica in 1985, he was sentenced to 40 years for the murder of a DEA special agent.
- The drug kingpin was released from a Mexican prison in 2013 through a legal sleight of hand and has remained at large, but the added U.S. pressure and focus are likely to lead to his arrest.
