The exclusive interviews with Caro Quintero, the “Narco de Narcos”, which you should see on YouTube

One of the few Mexican drug traffickers who has spoken directly to the press is Rafael Quintero, also known as the “Narco de Narcos”. Although there have been very few times he has stopped in front of the cameras to talk about his criminal life about him, he has and some of them are on YouTube.

The first interview with “Narco de Narcos”

The first time that Rafael Caro Quintero was interviewed It was in 1985 at a press conference that was held soon after he was captured as the first leader of the Guadalajara cartel to be arrested. In it, he was questioned about his illicit activities and agreed to work in drug trafficking and furthermore assured that he regretted nothing of what he had done.

This interview is also well remembered because he acknowledged having an affair with drug trafficker Ernesto Fonseca, but said they were only compadre and never partners. While she, on the other hand, she denied any kind of connection with Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, who is supposed to have been her partner in the creation of the Guadalajara cartel.

Another of the eInterviews with Rafael Caro Quintero available on YouTube è “I’m not at war with El Chapo, I’m no longer a narco” made by Anabel Hernández in 2017 for Revista Proceso. This would be the first time a drug dealer has accepted a formal interview (without being a press conference).

During the interview between the “Narco de Narcos” and the journalist Anabel Hernández, he talks about the situation he was experiencing at that moment: he had been legally released, but later he was once again a fugitive from justice and kept hidden from the police authorities. He claimed to be away from drug traffickers, having no relationship with El Chapo and looking for a quiet life.
