At the peak of his powers, Rafael Caro Quintero, also known as "El Narco de Narcos," controlled the flow of tons of cocaine from Mexico to the United States under the Guadalajara cartel, the country's most powerful criminal organization during the 1980s.
More than four decades later, Caro Quintero and his defense team are negotiating with the U.S. government over a possible alternative resolution to the case against him on drug trafficking charges and in connection with the killing of Enrique Camarena, a former Drug Enforcement Administration agent.
