Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernesto Rafael Fonseca Carrillo (* between 1930 and 1942 in Santiago de los Caballeros, Municipio Badiraguato , Sinaloa ), also known as Don Neto , is a former Mexican drug lord and co-founder of the Guadalajara cartel, which controlled cocaine smuggling in Mexico in the 1980s . He was one of the most wanted drug lords in Mexico and the United States in the early 1980s and is the uncle of the founder of the Juárez cartel , Amado Carrillo Fuentes .

Life

Carrillo initially worked for Pedro Avilés Pérez , who was the first major drug lord in Sinaloa and the first Mexican drug dealer to use airplanes to smuggle marijuana and heroin into the United States. Carrillo served as treasurer in its organization. On September 15, 1978 Avilés Pérez was killed in a shooting by the Mexican Federal Police . Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo took over the reins of the organization, which until then had never had a defined identity and was on the verge of crumbling, and founded the Guadalajara cartel together with Carrillo and Rafael Caro Quintero .

In connection with the murder of DEA agent Enrique Camarena in Guadalajara , he was arrested on April 7, 1985 in Puerto Vallarta by members of the Mexican army. The Mexican justice system sentenced him to a maximum of 40 years in prison. In July 2016, he was released from the maximum security Puente Grande prison and placed under house arrest.
