RabauseThe former debt of military intelligence, Hugo Carvajal – also known as “El Pollo”, or chicken – pleading free of drugs and Narco-terrorism in the US.
US officials accused 65-year-olds of an organizational drug consisting of high-ranking members of Venezuelan.
The guilty prayer is the most recent twist of Carvajal’s death from a frightened spePtyter to be convicted by a Madrid giver, where he was found despite a fake mustache and a wig.
Carvajal, a close ally of the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, thought to hold an important information about Chávez’s successor, Nicolás Maduro.
Carvajal about Cartel de Los Soles (Cartel of Suns) – named the Suns with Venezuelan military platels – according to A statement issued by US attorney’s office for Southern District in New Yorkwhere Carvajal is due to settle in the coming days.
“In many years, he and other cartel de los soles officials used cocaine as a weapon – flooding New York and other American cities,” the statement read.
It added that he was associated with rebel wings of the neighbor’s revolutionary armed forces, which he was given weapons and whose US cocaine transmissions through the Venezuela he protected.
Carvajal received millions of dollars to pay instead, according to the Attorney Jay Clayton.
The fact that Carvajal changed his plea to “guilty” two years after he denied all of the charges brought against him may have reached a deal for a lower sentence in exchange for providing incriminating information about the maduro’s government.
The US reports to Maduro with “Narco-terrorism” five years later and imposes the sanctions of him and his inner circle.
Like the former chief of spy, carvajal thought to have access to a material wealth about today’s and past Venezuela governments.
The relationships between Carvajal and Maduro healed in 2017, when the anti-government protested that the Carvajal speaks favorably in the country.
They broke the fully in 2019, when Carvajal urged the military behind the opposition leader John Guaidó’s atture to overthrow Maduro.
When the military remained loyal to Maduro, Carvajal fled to Spain.
After many years where he was running, he finally tracked an apartment in Madrid and took in the US.
