Drug lord release?

Mexico’s government is studying a request to place imprisoned 86-year-old drug lord Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo under house arrest, an official said. Fonseca Carrillo, who is also known as ‘‘Don Neto,’’ is considered one of the founders of modern Mexican drug trafficking. He is serving a 40-year sentence for the 1985 slaying of Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique ‘‘Kiki’’ Camarena.
