The Third Section of the Criminal Chamber of the National Court has agreed to suspend the materialization of the delivery to the United States of the Venezuelan military man Hugo Armando Carvajal, better known as The Carvajal Chicken, which had been announced to be produced tomorrow. The suspension has occurred at the request of his defense to correct a defect of form.
In a ruling notified this Friday, the magistrates, at the request of Carvajal’s defense, understand that the Plenary of the Criminal Chamber did not complete an order of the Plenary itself that must be formalized before executing the delivery.
“Taking into account what is expressed in the last paragraph of the fifth legal basis of the order of January 24, 2020 issued by the Plenary of the Criminal Chamber dismissing the incident of nullity of proceedings, which is not included in its operative part, in For the sake of effective judicial protection, the materialization of the delivery to the United States of North America is suspended and a witnessed copy of the defense brief and of the present provided to the Plenary of the Chamber for it to resolve ”, indicates the order.
Carvajal was head of the Venezuelan counterintelligence until 2014 and is currently claimed by the United States for drug trafficking, money laundering and collaboration with the former guerrilla of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
The magistrates of the Third Section of the Criminal Chamber of the National High Court had agreed on Wednesday to make the extradition effective, after the Ministry of the Interior declared the refusal to grant asylum to the military man, who could still take that decision of the Government to the courts through contentious-administrative channels.
