Hugo Carvajal, Venezuela's former military intelligence leader, pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including narcoterrorism and conspiracy to import cocaine, just a week before his federal trial in the U.S. Carvajal allegedly led a drug cartel comprising Venezuelan military officials with the intent to inundate the U.S. market with cocaine, collaborating with Colombian guerrillas. After over a decade evading U.S. authorities, he was extradited from Spain. His sentencing is scheduled for October, where he could receive a life sentence for his actions that significantly threatened U.S. communities.
