The trial against former Venezuelan general Hugo “El Pollo” Carvajal was postponed today until November 1, according to Judge Alvin Hallerstein of the Southern District Court of New York.

Hallerstein thus agreed to the request of the Prosecutor's Office, which had requested three months to be able to present all the probative material in its possession, and Carvajal's defense also agreed with that new date.

“El Pollo” Carvajal, extradited last week from Spain and accused of introducing cocaine into the United States, appeared in court dressed in dark blue pants and a shirt and listened calmly to the development of the session – of just over ten minutes – with headphones where the interventions of one and the other were being translated.
