Rafael Caro Quintero, founder of the Guadalajara Cartel, is set to face trial for drug trafficking in the United States, after the Attorney General’s Office confirmed that they continue to produce materials for trial.
In addition, the Mexican will remain in solitary confinement under Special Administrative Measures (SAMs) at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center in New York.
Caro Quintero appeared in federal court in Brooklyn this Thursday. The defense charged that the solitary confinement conditions imposed on the drug lord are endangering his sanity.
According to the minutes of the Eastern District Court of New York, the hearing was scheduled for 11 a.m. local time before Judge Frederick Block.
