The

Examining Court number 6

of the National Court has summoned Hugo

El Pollo

Carvajal

next Monday to

give a statement in the framework of proceedings opened for international terrorism. The decision has been adopted by Judge

Manuel García Castellón

at the request of the defense of the former head of intelligence of

Venezuela

, who is in the

Estremera prison

awaiting resolution of his extradition to the

United States

for drug trafficking.



In the framework of these proceedings, the National High Court offered Carvajal the status of protected witness before he fled, as long as he provided relevant information related to the ties of

ETA

with Venezuela. However, Carvajal did not offer data to the researchers in this regard and the offer came to nothing.



Now, after being detained last week in an apartment in

Madrid

, where he had been hidden since 2019, he has decided to collaborate in the framework of these proceedings of his own free will. Along these lines, it also offers to provide new information on the Colombian guerrilla of the

FARC

.



At the moment Carvajal is pending that

Spain

hand him over to the United States, which is claiming him for drug trafficking charges. The National High Court has provisionally paralyzed the extradition until its asylum request is resolved. However, the

Ministry of the Interior

It has already clarified that it was rejected and that, therefore, there is no impediment to its delivery to the American authorities.
