The Supreme Court has dismissed this Tuesday the appeal of the former head of Venezuelan Intelligence Hugo 'El Pollo' Carvajal against the agreement of the Council of Ministers of March 3, 2020, which approved his delivery to the United States.

Although the full sentence will be known in the coming days, the ruling of the Fifth Section of the Contentious-Administrative is contrary to the request of Carvajal, who was waiting for the Supreme Court to rule on the appeal that he presented in 2020 against the government's decision to place it in the hands of the US authorities.

At the time, he alleged before the Supreme Court that, if made available to the United States, he would be subjected to "torture" to "obtain information on the prevailing regime in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela."

And this, he continued, because Washington "mistakenly" believes that he was part of the "close environment" of former President Hugo Chávez and current President Nicolás Maduro.

'El Pollo' was on the run for almost two years until after 9:00 p.m. on September 9, he was arrested by Group II of Fugitives from UDYCO Central, in a joint operation with the DEA, in an apartment located on Torrelaguna street in Madrid. .

The National Police explained that he lived "totally cloistered, without going outside or looking out the window, and always protected by trusted people."

He changed hiding every three months and resorted to cosmetic surgery and disguise elements to try to hide.

The former head of Military Counterintelligence with the Chávez and Maduro governments is persecuted for events that occurred between 1999 and 2019, when he would have belonged to the so-called 'Cartel of the Suns', a criminal organization supposedly run by 'Chavista' charges that, with the alleged collaboration of the FARC and other armed groups would have introduced large quantities of drugs into the United States.
