The National Police fail to locate the former head of Venezuelan military espionage Hugo Carvajal to re-enter provisional prison by order of the National Court. The Plenary of the court revoked last Friday the initial refusal to extradite the military and agreed to hand over to the US authorities. Immediately, the section in charge of the issue issued a search and seizure order.

Legal and police sources indicate that he could not be located at the address he had communicated to the court and that since they have not been able to find the whereabouts of Chicken Carvajal, as he is commonly known. The same sources indicate that the procedures for its location continue and that its leakage is not taken for granted. When he was arrested in 2017 as a result of the extradition request, Carvajal carried a false Venezuelan documentation. He entered a provisional prison where he remained until last September 16, the Third Section of the Hearing denied the delivery. He did it for three reasons: drug trafficking accusations were vague, Carvajal's actions had been military and the American complaint responded to "political motives."

Carvajal, 59, today an opponent of Nicolás Maduro , was head of the intelligence and military counterintelligence services of Venezuela between 2000 and 2011. According to the US, the hand of the late Hugo Chávez was responsible for implementing a plan to make it reach US drug territory of the FARC.
