Chile seeks 20-year sentence for Tren de Aragua member in ex-Venezuelan officer's murder

Chilean prosecutors requested a 20-year prison term for Maickel Villegas Rodríguez, a Tren de Aragua member extradited from Costa Rica, in the kidnapping and murder of former Venezuelan military officer Ronald Ojeda. The prosecution alleges a politically motivated plot coordinated from Caracas, marking a notable assertion of state-sponsored transnational crime. The trial's outcome and any evidence linking Venezuelan officials remain uncertain.
