They arrested the Chavismo intelligence executive in Spain accused of drug trafficking

The Madrid police arrested Friday the former director of military intelligence services of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Hugo Carvajal, at the request of the United States. A US judge had asked for his international capture for drug trafficking.

Carvajal, known as "Pollo" in the Bolivarian Armed Forces, has distanced itself from the government in recent years. In fact, a few days ago, he denounced the "disastrous reality" of Venezuela after six years of the presidency of Nicolás Maduro.

That's more: the ex-activist published a February 21 Twitter video in which he recognized the incumbent of the National Assembly (AN), Juan Guaidó, as "president in charge" of the country.

"President of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó Márquez. Here's one more soldier for the causes of freedom and democracy to be helpful in achieving the goal of restoring the constitutional order that allows us to hold free elections, "said Carvajal at that time.

"General, how is it that having the power to let humanitarian aid in our country save lives, they decide not to do it? Will they be so inhumane? Or is the courage does not give them to face, as they should, with whom today it commands them to oppress our people? "he added later.

Exiled in Spain, the Madrid police arrested him at the request of the United States. A judge studies if he helped the Colombian guerrillas FARC to traffic drugs. In fact, the Treasury sanctioned it in 2008 for this case.

Then too they accused him of being part of the Suns cartel, along with other Venezuelan soldiers based in Aruba. At that time, Holland, to which this island belongs, rejected extradition on the ground that it enjoyed diplomatic immunity. Finally, it was at the disposal of the judge of the National Court, Alejandro Abascal, who would decide whether to give it to the Donald Trump government.
