A Mexican drug lord who was one of U.S. authorities’ most wanted men has been brought into a New York courtroom to answer charges that include orchestrating the 1985 killing of a U.S. federal agent.

Rafael Caro Quintero and Vicente Carillo Fuentes were “expelled” from Mexico Thursday to face justice in the U.S., including for the former’s alleged “masterminding” of the 1985

Alleged drug cartel boss Rafael Caro Quintero, who spent decades in prison in Mexico for the murder of a U.S. drug enforcement agent, pleaded not guilty in a U.S. court on Friday to drug trafficking charges that could result in his execution.
