The US Department of Justice is requesting heightened security measures for the upcoming trial of drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero. These measures include an anonymous jury, intended to protect jurors from potential intimidation or influence. Prosecutors also seek to present evidence in the case that has been vetted to exclude classified information. The request aims to ensure a fair trial and safeguard the integrity of the legal proceedings against the notorious cartel figure. Caro Quintero, previously a leader of the Guadalajara Cartel, was extradited to the US to face drug trafficking charges. The move to shield both the jury and evidence underscores the perceived threat and sensitivity surrounding the case. The trial is expected to focus on Caro Quintero’s involvement in the kidnapping and murder of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena in 1985.
