The only person found guilty of the macro-case opened in the United States against the leadership of the Chavista dictatorship breaks his silence and denounces directly to the president Donald Trump that the brothers Delcy And Jorge Rodriguez are, according to their testimony, the true core … of the power of the Suns cartel. He claimed that both operate from the top of the state with a deliberately low profile, control the political and criminal mechanisms of the regime and maintain both Nicolas Maduro I like Diosdado Hair.
Holds General Cliver Alcalátoday in prison, that Delcy, vice-president, and Jorge, president of the National Assembly, designed and coordinated operations essential to the survival of the regime, from electoral manipulation to the management of illicit networks and international alliances that support Chavismo.
“Two fundamental people in this entire criminal network are the brothers Jorge and Delcy Rodríguez. Lower profile and calculated, they are the true Machiavellian masterminds behind the leaders of the cartel known as the Suns Cartel,” he said in a letter sent to the White House to which ABC had access.
“They are the real controllers of Nicolás Maduro and Diosdado Cabello. The survival of the regime in power is largely thanks to the two of them,” he adds, before directly addressing the electoral field: “I am aware of the use of Smartmatic parallel voting machines to modify the results (…) The controllers of this entire system are the brothers Jorge and Delcy Rodríguez.”
This week’s letter follows the previous one Hugo ‘el Pollo’ Carvajalextradited from Spain, also sent President Trump a letter making allegations regarding Smartmatic. In this document, Carvajal asserted – according to his own version and without providing independent technical evidence at the moment – that “Smartmatic was born as an electoral tool of the Venezuelan regime” and that “the Smartmatic system can be modified; “It’s a fact.”
He also added that, according to his testimony, this technology was “exported abroad, including to the United States,” and that “regime agents maintain relationships with election officials and voting machine companies.”
The company categorically rejects these accusations, denies having served political interests in any country and defends its technological integrity in the context of litigation opened in USA. Meanwhile, Smartmatic faces a federal indictment in Miami that describes an alleged bribery and money laundering scheme linked to the 2016 Philippine elections, in which the prosecution alleges that executives inflated contracts and funneled opaque payments to obtain rewards.
According to White House sources, during confidential conversations, Nicolás Maduro even proposed that Delcy Rodríguez assume the presidency of Venezuela until 2031, thus consolidating his internal position and that of his brother Jorge. Delcy has been a constant ally of Spain’s socialist governments since Maduro’s arrival.

In January 2020, he caused a diplomatic crisis by landing at Barajas airport despite EU sanctions, on a trip considered illegal by Brussels and which led to the clandestine meeting he had with the then minister. Jose Luis Abalos.
Since then, he has maintained regular dialogue with José Luis Rodriguez Zapateroone of the former presidents of the Spanish government closest to Chavismo. Despite her role within the regime’s core, the New York Times recently described her as a “moderate” figure, a characterization that, for the Democratic opposition, contradicts both her career and available public documentation.
In his writings, Alcalá presents himself as a retired general who “voluntarily surrendered” to the United States in 2020 and is serving time after admitting to collaborating with the FARC “following the orders of my then superior Hugo Chávez.”
General Clíver Alcalá describes from prison the evolution of criminal structures linked to the Venezuelan state, such as the Aragua train, which Maduro used to consolidate his internal control
From prison, he describes the evolution of criminal structures linked to the Venezuelan state, such as the Aragua Train, whose origins he locates in prison networks that, according to him, were protected and used for political and criminal purposes.
He claims that Maduro used these organizations to consolidate his internal control and that some of them were “exported to other countries, including the United States of America.”
At the electoral level, he underlines General Carlos Quintero as responsible for the “Smartmatic electoral technology used to commit fraud”, and ensures that there were “parallel machines” which made it possible to modify the results.
Alcalá maintains in another part of his letter that Maduro directly managed the relationship with Iranincluding contacts with the Revolutionary Guard And Hezbollahand assures that since 2007 he was aware of informal links between senior Venezuelan officials and American legislators. In criminal matters, he asserts that drug trafficking and the illegal mining of Arco Minero were complementary activities and that “gold was a key element in the money laundering mechanism of drug trafficking”.
Alcalá warns Trump that Venezuelan regime poses ‘threat to US national security’ and offers to cooperate fully
He warns Trump that the Venezuelan regime represents “a threat to the national security of the United States” and declares his willingness to collaborate fully: “I am willing to testify on these and other issues (…) I remain at your disposal to contribute to the security and justice of your country and mine. »
Alcalá was sentenced in New York to 21 years and eight months in prison after pleading guilty to two federal charges: material support for a terrorist organization (the FARC) and illicit transfers of weapons, including grenades and grenade launchers.
In his agreement with the prosecution, he admitted having provided military protection to the FARCsupported the transportation of cocaine through Venezuela and used his position in the military to ensure that shipments were not intercepted. The court found that he had authorized or facilitated the transit of cocaine since at least 2006 and that he had acted within the structure that Washington describes as the Suns cartel.
After the conviction, the contrast with the decisions of the American executive branch was evident. In its strategy with Caracas, the Biden administration freed the so-called narco-nephews – convicted of plotting to smuggle 800 kilos of cocaine into the United States – and released Alex Saabdesignated by Washington as Maduro’s leader and accused of money laundering and corruption.
Alcalá, on the contrary, surrendered voluntarily, cooperated with the prosecution and, even after being imprisoned for more than two decades, claims to be able to continue providing relevant information about the regime’s criminal and political networks.
