SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 30 – Cliver Antonio Alcala
Cordones is charged as part of
a wide indictment of the
Venezuelan "Cartel de Los
Coles" and Colombia's
FARC.
On June 7,
2021 U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Alvin K.
Hellerstein held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered it.
The
indictment cites Nicolas
Maduro, and said he
"coordinated foreign affairs
with Honduras and other
countries to facilitate
large-scale drug
trafficking."
Jump cut
to November 30, 2022, when not
only the UN's Antonio Guterres
but now the Administration in
Washington, eager for oil, has
taken a different view of
Maduro. But the case goes
forward - in a pre-trial
proceeding attended by Inner
City Press, the US asked for a
July 2023 trial date and got
one, July 10 - threadette:
OK - now at
Venezuela narco case of US v.
Carvajal-Barrios, et al.,
proceeding delayed for some by
lack of interpreter....
Asst US
Attorney says wants July trial
date for today's defendant
Cliver Antonio Alcala Cordones
- but DOJ is still providing
discovery from another case.
Judge says July
10 trial, "no adjournments."
The case is USA
v. Cordones, 11-cr-205
