A former Venezuelan military officer was widely expected by the media to explain the ways in which Venezuelan politicians and leftist parties were illegally funded for at most 15 year.
Hugo 'El Pollo' Carvajal was the former head of Venezuelan intelligence. He did not make any comments to the Supreme Court of Justice of Colombia on Friday.

He also voiced his displeasure of the Spanish judiciary.
Carvajal referred to the current candidate for the Presidency in Colombia in this document:
"While I was the Director of Intelligence and Military Counterintelligence of Venezuela," I received numerous reports suggesting that international funds were being used. Concrete examples include the Nestor Kirchner case in Argentina; Evo Morales in Bolivia; Lula da Silva in Brazil; Fernando Lugo in Paraguay, Ollanta Humala in Peru; Zelaya in Honduras and Gustavo Petro in Colombia; and the Five Star Movement in Italy and Podemos, both in Spain. All were listed as Venezuelan government beneficiaries.
