The latter is commanded by Rafael Caro Quintero, who was recaptured in July 2022. Authorities have identified Jose Gil Caro Quintero, nephew of El Narco de Narcos, as the leader of the criminal organization. The man you are seeing on the screen. Among the allies of this criminal group is the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. Nothing more and nothing less. And the Juarez Cartel.
