Rafael Caro Quintero, a notorious Mexican drug lord, has faced multiple indictments over his criminal career. The key points of his indictments typically include:

1. Drug Trafficking: Caro Quintero has been charged with leading a major drug trafficking organization responsible for smuggling vast quantities of marijuana, cocaine, and other narcotics into the United States. His operations date back to the late 1970s and early 1980s.
2. Kidnapping and Murder of DEA Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena: One of the most significant charges against Caro Quintero is his involvement in the 1985 kidnapping, torture, and murder of DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena. This event led to heightened tensions between the U.S. and Mexico and a significant crackdown on drug cartels.
3. Violence and Corruption: The indictments often detail Caro Quintero's use of violence, including murder, torture, and intimidation, to maintain control over his drug trafficking operations. They also highlight his efforts to corrupt Mexican law enforcement and government officials to protect his activities.
4. Continued Criminal Activity: Despite his arrest and imprisonment in Mexico in 1985, Caro Quintero was released in 2013 on a technicality. After his release, he allegedly returned to drug trafficking and violent activities, leading to renewed efforts by U.S. authorities to capture and prosecute him.
5. Extradition Requests: The U.S. has repeatedly sought Caro Quintero's extradition to face charges in American courts, underscoring the severity of his alleged crimes and the international dimension of his criminal activities.
