A former Venezuelan military officer was anticipated by the media to explain how Venezuelan political leaders and left-wing parties were illegally funded for at least 15 year.
Hugo 'El Pollo' Carvajal is the former director of Venezuelan intelligence. He was arrested on Friday and stopped making any statements to the Supreme Court of Justice.
The hearing was scheduled after Carvajal promised in a document delivered to the judge of the National Court of Spain Manuel Garcia-Castellon, that the Venezuelan government "has illegally financed leftist political groups around the globe for more than 15 years."
Carvajal was referring to the Podemos Party the left-wing group which was established under Pablo Iglesias, and which is now part of the Spanish government. https://anotepad.com/notes/5ka9965c mentioned other Latin American politicians and parties like Gustavo Petro.
However, it was discovered during the diligence on this April 22 that not declare the existence of Spain as well as Colombia because they are in the process to extradition the United States. It is not completely ruled out that he may extend what he has previously stated in a letter made in Spain on Petro.
He also expressed his disdain for the Spanish judiciary.
The paper in which Carvajal identified the current presidency candidate in Colombia is:
"While I was Director of Intelligence and Military Counterintelligence of Venezuela," I received numerous reports indicating that international financing was taking place. Some 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 and the Five Star Movement in Italy. https://canvas.instructure.com/eportfolios/1133485/Home/Lights_and_Shadows_by_Gustavo_Petro_Winner_of_the_Historic_Pact of these are recipients of Venezuelan cash.
Gustavo Petro was presented with the document and was asked for clarification. Magistrate Cristina Lombana will direct the investigation.
Petro stated, at the time "The prior statement is based on the fact which I have the rights to truth und justice as an American citizen" and that making false statements affected my good name and my reputation.
Hugo Carvajal is who? And what are his shocking remarks?
https://www.onfeetnation.com/profiles/blogs/hard-cross-between-gustavo-petro-general-zapateiro-18 led the Military Counterintelligence Directorate of Venezuela. It was led by Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro for eight years.
His name became more prominent when he was included on the famous Clinton List for his alleged involvement in drug trafficking through the FARC. A warrant to arrest him was issued by a Florida court in May 2013. In addition, he became a key player in the administration of Nicolas Maduro, he even knew all the movements and secrets of the Venezuelan president.
The DEA accused him of DEA of selling cocaine direct to his country and "investing huge sums of money in drug shipments that were sent to Mexico and the United States via the Norte del Valle cartel.
According to petro gustavo , El Pollo claims that the Venezuelan ambassador received the cash from Embassy of Cuba in Caracas and then arrived at Podemos gathering using various methods: cash delivery from Caracas or the money to Spain via diplomatic pouch.
It seems that this scheme could have been repeated several times with different governments and left-wing candidates in Spain as well as Latin America.
At present, the nation awaits what will be revealed when the fan is turned on. Petro's presidential campaign might be shaken by his comments.
