Granma International reports that documentation of Posada Carriles’ acts of torture and murder when captain of the political police (DISIP) in Venezuela is in the possession of his torture victims and relatives of those he assassinated. They are considering using this evidence to file a case against him in the United States.
Eli of Left I on the News flagged it and tied the new information on Joaquín Fernando Chaffardet to other information he’s gathered putting together a very interesting update.
Chaffardet testified at Mr. Posada’s asylum hearing in El Paso, Texas last August that if the U.S. extradited his good friend and crime partner to Venezuela to face the trial he avoided by escaping from prison (with help from friends in the U.S.) then he would be tortured. The judge agreed. Eli also noticed that the U.S. is still shopping for a country where it can quietly unload the guy without attracting too much attention. El Salvador, for one, a country that’s been taking shit from the U.S. for years.
