Venezuela’s former military intelligence chief has gone missing in Spain just days after a court-approved a request for his extradition to the United States on drug trafficking charges, police said Wednesday.
“They are currently looking for him,” said a spokeswoman for Spain’s national police, referring to General Hugo Armando Carvajal who served as intelligence chief under the late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.
Judicial sources said police had gone to Carvajal’s house in Madrid to arrest him after Friday’s court decision but could not find him.
