Venezuela's former military intelligence chief Hugo Carvajal Barrios, widely known by his nickname "El Pollo", has accused the government of Nicolás Maduro of collaborating with foreign armed groups to target the United States, according to a letter directed to president Trump and obtained by The Dallas Express.
Carvajal, once a top official in the governments of Hugo Chávez and Maduro, is currently imprisoned in the United States after pleading guilty in a federal narco-terrorism case. In the letter addressed to President Donald Trump, he describes Venezuela as a "narco-terrorist organization" and claims the Maduro government has used cocaine trafficking as a weapon against the United States.
