SDNY COURT
Exclusive, June 23 –
Venezuelan
indicted narco-trafficker
Carlos Orense Azocar was
presented in Magistrates Court
in the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on June 23 and Inner City
Press was (the only media)
there.
Azocar had
just been extradited in from
Italy and the indictment
against him unsealed. He was
bought into the courtroom by
two U.S. Marshals, in a green
T-shirt and a shaved head with
deep lines in it, at least in
the back.
SDNY Magistrate
Judge Valerie Figueredo
reviewed the financial
affidavit that Azocar signed
and submitted and appointed
him publicly-paid Criminal
Justice Act counsel.
(Given his
resources, Inner City Press
has already filed to have
unsealed his financial
affidavit, as it won in the
recent narco case of Honduras'
Tigre Bonilla).
Azocar pled
not guilty and consented to
detention. The case has been
wheeled out and assigned to
District Judge Vernon S.
Broderick. Inner City Press
will be covering it.
The case is US v.
Azocar, 21-cr-379 (Broderick /
Figueredo)
