Spain's High Court said on Friday it had extradited to the United States a Venezuelan woman who was a member of late President Hugo Chavez's inner circle, on charges of money laundering and belonging to a criminal group.
Claudia Diaz "has already been handed over to the US in compliance with a court ruling yesterday", the High Court said without giving details.
Spain's High Court approved in October the extradition of Diaz, a former Navy sergeant who was Chavez's nurse when he was being treated for cancer. She also served as Venezuela's national treasurer from 2011 to 2013.
