Former DEA agent Hector Berrellez discussed the motivations and actions of drug lords Rafael Quintero and El Chapo, shedding light on their roles within the Sinaloa cartel. Contrary to popular belief, Berrellez revealed that El Chapo was not the ultimate boss of the cartel, but rather worked under Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada. He also stated that El Chapo was known for his violence, acting as an executioner for another cartel member, Pacho Herrera. Berrellez further claimed that El Chapo was involved in the kidnapping, torture, and burial of DEA agent "Kiki" Camarena, and criticized the fact that El Chapo was not charged with murder when he was eventually captured. Berrellez expressed frustration with the CIA's role in drug trafficking and the negative consequences it had on communities affected by crack cocaine. He also discussed the dangers he has faced for speaking out against corruption in the Mexican government and his own government's potential plans to hand him over to Mexican authorities.
