Miguel Caro Quintero, alias “Michael Jackson,” was handed over to US federal authorities after spending some eight years in prison in Mexico, the attorney general’s office said in a statement.

Mexico’s attorney general’s office said on Thursday it had not seized a private plane registered to Allen Stanford, after media reported an aircraft belonging to the Texas billionaire accused of massive fraud was detained in a U.S. drug money laundering probe.
There is no criminal investigation in Mexico into Stanford, who was found by the FBI in Virginia and served with court papers accusing him of an $8 billion fraud, said Octavio Campos, a spokesman for the attorney general’s office.
