The Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), supports the request raised by Venezuela for the Dominican Republic to deliver extradition to Jean Carlos Díaz Polanco (41) aka Jean Carlitos or the usurper.
Díaz Polanco presents two extradition requests: the first is for its alleged involvement in the traffic of 359 kilos of cocaine that they transported on a plane from Barquisimeto (Lara) to the Dominican Republic, where aka the usurper was waiting for him along with other subjects.
The second extradition request is for the end of the 24 -year sentence, 5 months, 7 days and 12 hours in prison that were imposed on Zulia on 4/16/2002 for qualified homicide, aggravated robbery and personal injury.
Originally, that conviction was 28 years and 28 days in prison, according to the sentence issued by the 2nd Court of Zulia’s trial. But, Chamber 3 of the Zulia Court of Appeals reduced the conviction and left it in 24 years that he was purging in the already extinct National Jail of Maracaibo, where he became one of the pranes.
In December 2012, Díaz Polanco received a benefit of probation, which took the opportunity to flee from Venezuela and settle in the Dominican Republic. Upon learning of such a situation, the 6th Court of Execution of Zulia decided to revoke such benefit and consequently decreed arrest warrant, which is in force to date and is the one that gives rise to the second process of the extradition process.
Both extradition requests were accumulated in one, by decision of the Criminal Chamber of the TSJ, according to Judgment 433 published on July 25, with the signatures of magistrates Carmen Marisela Castro (speaker), Elsa Gómez and Maikel Moreno.
The sentence explains the details of the seizure of the drug cargo in Dominican on 16/3/2016. That drug arrived at La Romana International Airport, located on the aforementioned Island, where Cessna C404 YV-2708 from Barquisimeto landed.
Upon arriving in Dominican, the aircraft was seized and detained the Venezuelans Carlos Justiniano (pilot), Jorge L. Manríquez (Copiloto), Gregory Frías (passenger) and Jean Carlos José Díaz (drug recipient).
For that fact, Sergeants Franklin Leonel Pérez Peña, Roberto Antonio Sivira Fernández and Onesimo Mariano Romero Hernández and the civilian Eduar José Lucena Rivero were arrested in Venezuela.
The judgment of the Criminal Chamber also recounts the circumstances in which two murders committed by the usurper occurred, one of them occurred on April 21, 2001 in the La Chinita neighborhood, Casa N ° 112-85, Maracaibo (Zulia).
In the aforementioned place the usurper arrived in the company of Renzo Junior Urdaneta, Alexis José, Pedro Añez (El Corocoro) and the Pili. These subjects began to shoot the house of Pedro Junior Nava Umbría, who was sitting on the porch where he was hit by the projectiles.
And that is when the subjects are introduced to the house to subtract goods. But the usurper observes that Pedro Junior tried to get up badly and struck him in the head that ended his life.
The other murdered by the usurper and his paddle is Engelberth Hilges Licero Castillo, a taxi driver to whom the offender asked for a Carrerita. And when they were already in the Christ of Aranz sector, in the Zulian capital, they kill him with a gun to steal 70 thousand bolivars.
The arguments of the penalty
The magistrates analyzed the two extradition requests processed by the Public Ministry and found that all the requirements established in the Venezuelan laws and the United Nations Convention against Organized Crime meet.
This last instrument obliges the signatory countries, including the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, to fight against organized crime organizations, lending mutual cooperation, the magistrates point out, who declared the request for extradition.
The Criminal Chamber established that it undertakes to hold a trial against Díaz Polanco “with the proper constitutional assurances and guarantees.” The arguments of the penalty
