Exiled Venezuelan Spy Chiefs Speak Out About Corruption, Cuban Ties

Martin Arostegui

   MADRID - Two former ranking generals in Venezuela's security services,
   now in exile, have been speaking out about what they see as rampant
   corruption and pervasive Cuban influence in the government of President
   Nicolas Maduro.

   General Manuel Cristopher Figuera and retired general Hugo Carvajal--
   the former in the United States and the latter in a Spanish jail-- have
   also been talking to reporters about their roles in recent attempts to
   drive Maduro from power.
