While the show doesn’t end with Quintero’s final arrest and subsequent release in 2013, it does end with bounty hunters sent to find Gallardo. The show is fairly true to what actually happened in the end. There’s still a $20 million bounty on his head.Īs for ‘El Padrino,’ he’s still serving a 40-year prison sentence after being arrested in Mexico on April 8, 1989. He’s on the run to this day but made a rare and extraordinary interview to a magazine called Proceso, where he continued to profess his innocence in the death of Camarena. US authorities weren’t aware of his “mistrial” occurrences until it was too late, and Quintero vanished.
Quintero wasn’t arrested until April 4, 1985, but was released 40 years later in 2013 after his trial was deemed unfair. His first prison escape was organized by Police Chief Jorge Armando Pavon Reyes, the same man assigned to apprehend Quintero to begin with. Quintero’s final depictions do remain relatively faithful to reality.
However, in actuality it was Gallardo who organized the kidnapping and ultimate death of Camarena. On the show, it’s implied that Quintero kidnaps the famed agent Camarena without Gallardo’s knowledge. The show deviates most from reality in the events surrounding Camarena’s death. RELATED: ‘Narcos: Mexico’ Season 3: Luisa Rubino & Mayra Hermosillo on the Final Season and How They Got Ready for Their Roles In the end, Narcos: Mexicos appears to have taken several creative liberties in portraying this relationship. According to journalist Carlos Monsiváis in his book titled Mexican Postcards, the affair between Quintero and Cosio was a mixture of fact and fiction.
However, depending on which accounts you read, there seemed to be too many kidnappings that took place in the span of their relationship. Much of Sofia’s portrayal on the show is that of a risk-taking young girl who went along with a lot of Caron Quintero’s antics. Not precisely the planned escape of two lovers. However, according to her real-life family, Sofia was abducted by Caro Quintero from a club and returned on Christmas Day. Sofia staged her kidnapping with Rafael as some romantic interlude on the show. On the show, Caro Quintero is in love with a girl named Sofia Conesa ( Tessa Ia), whose real name is Sara Cosio. One of the ongoing themes of his characterization on the show is his proclivities for women.
Rafael Caro Quintero ( Tenoch Huerta) is another drug trafficker featured in the series, which is one of the main reasons Gallardo rose to power in the first place.
