Our investigation uncovers Espárrago Moreno’s role as a highly effective double agent, working closely with both the DEA and the Federal Judicial Police in Mexico. This double life granted him access to invaluable strategic intelligence on drug trafficking operations and enabled him to establish alliances with notorious cartel leaders such as Rafael Caro Quintero and Joaquín «El Chapo» Guzmán.

Notably, we shed light on Espárrago Moreno’s involvement in the tragic case of DEA agent Enrique «Kiki» Camarena, who was kidnapped and brutally murdered in 1985. Espárrago Moreno discovered Camarena’s true identity as an undercover DEA agent and, driven by concerns for his safety, attempted to save him by alerting the CIA to the Guadalajara cartel’s plans and the agency’s complicity in drug trafficking activities to Central America.

Despite his valiant efforts, Espárrago Moreno was unable to avert Camarena’s dire fate. The DEA orchestrated an operation to pin the blame for the murder on the leaders of the Guadalajara cartel, effectively concealing the CIA’s involvement. This development forced Espárrago Moreno into a life of constant evasion, perpetually hunted by the DEA.

In 2014, news of Espárrago Moreno’s alleged death due to a heart attack circulated, but the circumstances surrounding his demise remain mired in confusion. No concrete forensic evidence or his body were ever found. Journalist Jesús Lemus puts forward the theory that his death was meticulously staged, allowing him to disappear into anonymity, shielded by the protective veil of the United States government.
