The head of the PRO, Patricia Bullrich, announced that she will submit
a request to the Argentine office of the DEA
to arrest Nicolás Maduro, president of Venezuela, when he arrives in Argentina for the CELAC summit.
It will be due to a complaint that Maduro has in the United States for an alleged link to a drug cartel.
"Tomorrow I am going to present an alert to the DEA, since there is an arrest warrant for participation in the Cartel de los Soles. If someone wanted in the US comes to the country, the offices can act in the region so that they are extradited," said the former Minister of National Security.
This is an open cause in New York, known as the "of the suns".
According to the investigation, these are groups within the Venezuelan army involved in a wide range of criminal activities.
"Any Venezuelan tells you that the regime was sustained by drug trafficking after the fall in oil prices," Bullrich said.
As explained by the president of the PRO, there is a cooperation agreement between the United States and Argentina that allows the agency's local office to intervene.
It is the same regulatory framework that enabled the detention of the Venezuelan-Iranian plane in Ezeiza.
