Aruba freed Hugo Carvajal, who headed Venezuelan military intelligence under the late President Hugo Chavez, after ruling that the retired major general has diplomatic immunity.
Carvajal was detained on the Caribbean island July 23 while awaiting accreditation to serve as Venezuela’s general council there. Carvajal has been wanted by U.S. authorities since 2008 for allegedly aiding Colombian Marxist rebels and trafficking cocaine.
