Prosecutors in Brooklyn have just indicted a member of Rafael Caro Quintero's crew on drug-trafficking and gun charges.
The Brooklyn office reindicted RCQ in October & has been going after him hard ever since, filing a civil complaint to seize several of his properties in Mexico.
Caro Quintero served 28 years in prison in Mexico for the murder of DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena (See: "Narcos: Mexico") When he was freed in August 2013--a judge ruled he had been improperly tried--he moved toward the top of DEA's most wanted list.
The recent new indictment of Caro Quintero has several sealed defendants in it. The new defendant, Ismael Quintero Arellanes, has been charged under the same indictment.
In a press release, Ray Donovan, head of the DEA's NY office, called Caro Quintero the DEA's "arch nemesis." Donovan, in his former job, was central in the efforts to capture Caro Quintero's protege, Chapo Guzman, twice--in 2014 and then again in 2016.
