Chile will formally request that the United States extradite a Venezuelan man to stand trial over the abduction and killing of a Venezuelan ex-army officer and dissident last year in Chile, prosecutors said Thursday.
It's the latest twist in a closely watched case that sent chills through Venezuela's vast diaspora.
Chile alleges that the disappearance and gruesome killing of the former lieutenant, Ronald Ojeda, 32, was carried out by the Venezuelan criminal group Tren de Aragua, which U.S. President Donald Trump recently designated as a terrorist organization.
