Convicted drug lord Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo was re-sentenced by a Mexican court to 37 years in prison and a reparation payment equivalent to $1.2 million.

Felix Gallardo, who was considered the godfather of Mexican drug smuggling and the co-founder of the Guadalajara cartel, had previously been sentenced to 40 years in prison for the murder of DEA Agent Enrique Camarena.

Some of those convicted in the murder had filed appeals.

Rafael Caro Quintero, who was released from prison in 2013 following an appeals court decision to overturn his conviction, is to be re-sentenced. He remains at large, but a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
