CARTEL DRUG LORD ORDERED TO PAY $1 MILLION INDEMNITY FOR DEA AGENT’S MURDER:
A Mexican federal court made the ruling.
A federal judge has ordered a drug lord convicted in the 1985 killings of a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent and a Mexican government pilot to pay relatives of the victims nearly $1 million in compensation, officials said Friday.
The Federal Judicial Council announced the 20.8 million peso penalty in a statement without naming any of the parties involved.
But a judicial official confirmed that the order is directed at Ernesto “Don Neto” Fonseca Carrillo, co-founder of the Guadalajara cartel, for the case of the kidnapping, torture and killing of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena.
