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.
