Rodrigo Omar Páez Quintero, alias “El R”, nephew of Rafael Caro Quintero, will be extradited to the United States, who is wanted by an Arizona court for crimes against health and criminal association.
By unanimous vote, the magistrates of the Eighth Collegiate Court in Criminal Matters in Mexico City confirmed the resolution of the head of the Sixth District Court of Amparo in Criminal Matters, Juan Mateo Brieba de Castro, who in January of this year denied the protection of justice to el R against the resolution that granted the extradition issued by a control judge in 2023.
In April 2023, El R was arrested in an operation where a formal arrest warrant for extradition purposes was served on him for his probable responsibility in the crimes of criminal association and against health.
Agents from the Federal Ministerial Police (PFM), the General Directorate of International Police Affairs, and Interpol served the warrant in the Santa Rita neighborhood in the municipality of Zapopan.
