Ojeda case: prosecutor points to Cabello with hypothetical detention order
According to Google News CL — Crime, prosecutor Barros, responsible for the investigation into the kidnapping and murder of former Venezuelan military officer Ronald Ojeda, stated that Diosdado Cabello — a key figure in Nicolás Maduro's regime — would face a detention order if he were found in Chilean territory.
"If he were in Chile, he would have a detention order," Barros said when referring to the role that judicial prosecution attributes to the Venezuelan leader in the crime that occurred in Santiago.
Ojeda, a former lieutenant in the Venezuelan army and a recognised opponent of the Maduro government, was found dead in February 2024 after being kidnapped from his apartment in the Independencia district. The investigation points to a cell of the Tren de Aragua as the material executors of the crime.
The prosecutor did not specify in what capacity Cabello appears in the case, although the statement implies that there is sufficient investigative merit to link the Venezuelan official to the facts.
