Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo, better known as “Don Neto,” is a notorious Mexican criminal and drug dealer. He is a former leader of the infamous ‘Guadalajara Cartel,’ a raging criminal group of the 1980s. Together with Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo (“The Godfather”) and Rafael Caro Quintero, he contributed to the growth of the hallucinogen market in the US, Mexico, and Colombia. Cocaine and cannabis were the most-trafficked drugs under their reign. Under Fonseca’s leadership, the cartel was also involved in money laundering, extortion, and arms trafficking. The elusive drug dealer was arrested by the ‘Drug Enforcement Administration’ (DEA) in 1985. Multiple charges were brought against the drug lord at the time of his conviction. Despite living a dangerous life, the octagenarian criminal has managed to outlive most of his contemporaries and descendants. Apart from the ‘Guadalaraja Cartel,’ Fonseca was also associated with other ill-famed groups, such the ‘Sinaloa Cartel,’ the ‘Juárez Cartel,’ the ‘Tijuana Cartel,’ and the ‘Gulf Cartel.’
