A former military officer from Venezuela was expected give details of the ways in which Venezuelan officials illegally supported leftist political parties and politicians for at most 15 years.
Hugo "El Pollo' Carvajal, the former head of Venezuelan Intelligence, has resisted Friday's invitation to make statements before the Supreme Court of Justice of Colombia.
After Carvajal delivered a written statement to Manuel Garcia-Castellon the Spanish judge's National Court of Spain, the hearing was set. Carvajal stated that Venezuela was funding illegally leftist political groups across the world for at most 15 year.
Carvajal was referring to the Podemos Party, the left-wing party which was established under Pablo Iglesias, and which is now part of the Spanish government. Carvajal also referred to other Latin American politicians and parties like Gustavo Petro.
However, it was discovered in the investigation on April 22 that not declare in Spain as well as Colombia as it are involved in the process of extradition to the United States. It is not ruled out that he will prolong what he had already said in a written delivered in Spain on Petro.
He also expressed his distrust of the Spanish judiciary.
The document in which Carvajal mentioned the current candidate for the Presidency of Colombia is:
"As Director of Intelligence and Military Counterintelligence of Venezuela," said Nestor Kirchner. I received a lot of news reports suggesting that this international financing was occurring. Concrete examples include Nestor Kirchner Argentina; Evo Mores, Bolivia; Lula D Silva, Brazil; Fernando Lugo and Ollanta Morales in Paraguay; Ollanta Umala, Peru, Zelaya, Honduras; Gustavo Petro in Colombia as well as the Five Star Movement in Italy. All of these were reported as the recipients of funds lent by the Venezuelan government."
Gustavo Petro confronted this document. He asked at the time for the Court to initiate an investigation session to confirm the authenticity of these statements.
"The above is based on the idea that I have the right to truth and justice as a citizen. such false statements threaten my good name and honor," Petro said at the time.
gustavo petro is who? And what are his shocking comments?
Eight years ago the 'chicken Carvajal was the head of the Military Counterintelligence Directorate of Venezuela. It was headed by Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro for eight years.
His name gained importance when he joined the popular Clinton List, for allegedly being a supporter of the drug trafficking of the FARC. Since May 2013 he had an arrest warrant issued by a court in Florida, United States. He also became a major member of Nicolas Maduro's government. https://www.openlearning.com/u/jamesmccormick-ravpfk/blog/GustavoPetroWinsTheHistoricPactForLightsAndShadows knew every detail and moves of the Venezuelan President.
He was accused by the DEA as well as the US Department of Justice of aiding in the trafficking of cocaine within his country as well as "selling" directly "hundreds of kilograms of cocaine" and "investing" large sums of money into drug shipments that were delivered to the United States and Mexico by the Norte del Valle cartel.
According to Spanish media reports, El Pollo says that a Venezuelan diplomat took cash from the Embassy of Cuba in Caracas. The diplomat then took it to Spain with two different methods. One, he could send the cash in a pouch that was designed for diplomats to Spain or hand it over the cash himself from Caracas.
The scheme appears to have been re-run many times throughout Spain as well as Latin America with left-wing candidates and various government officials.
For now, the country is waiting for what can be revealed after the country has turned on its fans. https://www.onfeetnation.com/profiles/blogs/reservists-of-the-army-support-general-zapateiro-and-criticize-5 of Petro could alter Petro's presidential bid.
