[El Universal] Pictures, wiretappings and testimonies of confidential sources are part of the thorough investigation made by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), to indict alleged drug trafficker Walid Makled and charge some Venezuelan officials as accomplices. The affidavit by Drug Enforcement Special Agent Gregory Ball, which is a piece of evidence used by the US District Court of the Southern District of New York to request the extradition of Walid Makled, includes the testimony of two people close to Makled GarcÃa, also known as "The Arab" or "The Turk."
Ahah. Solozzo. Y'gotta be careful with Solozzo. Better warn Pop, too. Make sure Fredo's heeled.
In the inquiry, confidential sources close to Makled are identified as CS-1 and CS-2. According to Ball, CS-1 met "The Arab" several years ago and he knew that Makled "made payments to the Venezuelan police and national guard so that aircraft loaded with cocaine departed safely from airports and airstrips located in Venezuela."
"CS-1 sleeps widda fishes!"
The agent also said that a source, identified as CS-2, met with Makled on several occasions and he also knew that Venezuelan officials were paid to facilitate the shipment of drugs.
The DEA agent's affidavit also shows the joint work of US and Colombian authorities. Ball made some comments about a wiretapping authorized by a Colombian court, in which Makled coordinated a USD 200,000 payment to Venezuelan officials, supposedly to allow the departure of an aircraft loaded with drugs.
