Not many in Venezuela know his name, but those who do don’t like talking about him openly. He is Pedro Luis Martín Olivares, a former intelligence officer accused by witnesses and alleged victims of running a kidnapping and extortion racket for years. Operating out of a secluded penthouse in a luxury Caracas hotel, he is now believed to run one of the main branches of the Cartel of the Suns drug organization, in partnership with high-ranking Venezuelan officials.
Venezuela's former intelligence chief, General Hugo Armando Carvajal, allegedly tells Spanish courts that Caracas sent some US$21 million to Argentina to help fund Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s 2007 presidential campaign.
Lajusticia de España rechazó dejar en libertad provisional a Hugo “El Pollo” Carvajal, exjefe de Inteligencia de Venezuela, por "elevado riesgo de fuga".
