Ex-Venezuela Spy Chief, "El Pollo" Hugo Carvajal, has pleaded guilty to US drug trafficking charges. Carvajal was accused of narco-terrorism and faced charges related to his involvement in trafficking drugs into the United States.

Carvajal was arrested in Spain three years ago and was extradited to the US to face trial. During his trial, he admitted to his role in a drug trafficking ring that spanned across multiple countries, including Venezuela and Mexico.

The guilty plea comes after years of legal battles and denials from Carvajal, who once served as the head of Venezuela's military intelligence. His cooperation with US authorities could lead to reduced sentencing, as he provides valuable information about the inner workings of the drug trade.

Carvajal's case highlights the global reach of drug trafficking and the lengths that individuals will go to profit from illegal activities. His guilty plea serves as a stark reminder of the consequences that come with involvement in such illicit operations.
