A former Venezuelan military intelligence official has pleaded guilty in the United States to drug trafficking and narco-terrorism charges, concluding a two-year legal process following his extradition.
Hugo Carvajal, a former Venezuelan military intelligence chief, has pleaded guilty in a U.S. court to drug trafficking and narco-terrorism charges.
U.S. prosecutors said Carvajal was involved with the Cartel de los Soles, a network linked to Venezuelan military officials accused of moving cocaine into the U.S.
Authorities also allege he worked with Colombia’s FARC rebels, helping protect cocaine shipments in exchange for payment.
The guilty plea follows two years of denying the charges and may signal possible cooperation with U.S. authorities.
Carvajal could face a lengthy prison sentence. The case is part of broader U.S. efforts targeting drug networks in the region.
