MEXICO CITY (AP) — A federal judge has ordered a drug lord convicted in the 1985 killings of a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent and a Mexican government pilot to pay relatives of the victims nearly $1 million in compensation, officials said Friday.
The Federal Judicial Council announced the 20.8 million peso penalty in a statement without naming any of the parties involved.
But a judicial official confirmed that the order is directed at Ernesto "Don Neto" Fonseca Carrillo, co-founder of the Guadalajara cartel, for the case of the kidnapping, torture and killing of DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena.
The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
