The Supreme Court of Chile accepted on Tuesday the request for the extradition to Venezuela of David Landaeta Garlotti, nicknamed the “Satan”, a hitman of the Aragua Train and linked to different crimes.
This, after the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice declared – last October – valid the request to Chile that it sends to Venezuela, through the extradition procedure to the hitman.
«This court has not considered (convenient) to wait to complete a long trial that is looming. Given the scale of the crimes in Chile, and with the wear and tear that leaving him without punishment implies, in the event that he completes his sentences and tries to enter our country again, the system will resume the case,” said María Cristina Gajardo, Minister of the Supreme Court, when explaining the reasons for the ruling, quoted by the local Chilean media Cooperative.
The Prosecutor’s Office had requested to postpone the extradition until the criminal process in Chile was finished, but the highest court dismissed this position, since the subject has no conviction in the South American country and benefits from the principle of presumption of innocence.
Alias El Satán, 25 years old, was required by the 2nd Control Court of Aragua where they opened a file for intentional homicide qualified as immediate cooperator.
The homicide victim is Willians Roberto González Martínez, who was practically shot by a group of subjects including Landaeta Garlotti.
The murder of González Martínez occurred on April 13, 2015 in an alley in the La Ovallera sector, Palo Negro, Aragua. González Martínez was cornered by El Satanás, José Miguel Rojas Méndez (El Che), Zabdiel Daniel Useche Suárez, Yeison Alexander Sequera Medina (Chespi) and Yoser Manuel Mena Fernández, who shot him with various firearms until he died, he says sentence.
