MEXICO CITY Mexico s Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned an appeals court ruling that freed drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero from prison, a decision that had enraged U.S. officials who placed a bounty for his re-capture.Caro Quintero, whose whereabouts are unknown, walked out of a maximum-security prison in August after the appeals court overturned his 40-year sentence for the 1985 torture-killing of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique Camarena and a Mexican government pilot.The three-judge appeals court annulled Caro Quintero s sentence on procedural grounds, saying he should have been tried in a state court instead of federal court because Camarena was not formally registered as a diplomat, which would have made it a federal crime. Simple homicides are state crimes. Prosecutors appealed that ruling and a panel of five Supreme Court justices voted 4-1 Wednesday to overturn the release, ruling that Camarena was a registered U.S. government agent and thus covered by the federal law. In his character as a DEA agent, he was an i crocs badelatschen nternationally protected person, given that he had been officially recognized by Mexico and the United States, as an intergovernmental agent, the court said in a statement.
