Noticias Telemundo interviewed the famous drug trafficker imprisoned for the murder of DEA agent Enrique 'Kiki' Camarena: it is the first time he has spoken to a media outlet in the 32 years he has been in jail. "I have no prognosis for life," says the founder of the Guadalajara Cartel.

He is an elderly man, in a wheelchair, who fights against ailments while trying to tell his story. "My health is terrible, my family is making a hole for me to be buried in a tree," says Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, 75, founder of the Guadalajara Cartel, one of the first drug trafficking organizations in Mexico.

"I have no prognosis of life, since I lost everything. I lost my sensitivity, ears, eyes," explains Félix Gallardo in an exclusive interview with Noticias Telemundo, in the maximum security zone of the Puente Grande state prison, Jalisco. This is the first time that the 'Jefe de jefes' breaks the media silence during his long 32-year prison confinement.

Although he usually denies the accusations against him, Félix Gallardo was arrested in 1989 as part of the investigation into the murder of Enrique 'Kiki' Camarena Salazar, an agent of the United States Drug Control Administration (DEA). Among other charges, he was accused of weapons collection, bribery, health crimes and homicide. He was also sentenced for crimes such as drug trafficking and money laundering.
