Hugo Armando Carvajal
Hugo Armando Carvajal, commonly known as 'El Pollo', is a former high-ranking Venezuelan military officer and intelligence chief who has gained notoriety for his role in the controversial regime of Hugo Chávez. Recently, Carvajal appeared in a New York court as a 'repentant witness', where he has been cooperating with U.S. authorities following his guilty plea to charges of drug trafficking and narcoterrorism. He has claimed to possess extensive knowledge about the connections between the Venezuelan government and various leftist movements in Latin America, alleging that the state oil company PDVSA was instrumental in financing these groups over the past 15 years. His testimony could significantly impact ongoing investigations into international drug trafficking and political corruption.
