Rafael Caro Quintero is a fugitive with a $5 million reward on his head after being released from prison.
MEXICO CITY:
Fugitive drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero says he isn't getting back into the drug trade or trying to muscle in on the Sinaloa cartel's operations.
Caro Quintero is a fugitive with a $5 million reward on his head after being erroneously released from prison in 2013. He has since been ordered recaptured.
He spoke with the Proceso news magazine in an interview published Sunday and said he was "very worried" about reports he was in a dispute with the Sinaloa cartel.
Caro Quintero said: "I don't have problems with any cartel."
The magazine reports he appeared simply dressed and was interviewed in a humble shack.
He also denied involvement in the 1985 murder of US DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena. He was serving a 40-year sentence for that killing.
