It remains to be seen what will come next for the former Sinaloa Cartel boss, as Mexico’s drug landscape has changed mightily since he was arrested 20 years ago.
Palma Salazar, 55, is expected to return to the crime group he launched a generation ago with the trafficker known as “El Chapo,” who was recently arrested in Mexico months after being interviewed by American actor and sometimes magazine writer Sean Penn. Palma Salazar has seen horrific tragedy.
A rival gangster, Rafael Clavel Moreno, once seduced his wife; got her to withdraw $7 million from a bank then decapitated her and sent Palma Salazar her head.
He also shoved Palma Salazar’s children to their deaths from a bridge in Venezuela.
“It devastated him,” recalled Mike Vigil, a retired chief of international operations for the Drug Enforcement Administration and author of the book “Deal.”
“After his kids were killed, he lost all of his morality,” Vigil said of Palma-Salazar.
“He took off the gloves,” Vigil said, contending that Palma Salazar shifted from the surgical use of violence to wholesale killing.
Clavel Moreno was later stabbed to death.
