Mainstream Latin American newspapers are reporting this week on the pending, belated reversal of the murder convictions of convicted murderers and confessed drug traffickers and terrorists Walter Alexander del Nogal and Ramiro Helmeyer Quevedo, on the grounds that the victim has mysteriously reappeared after more than a decade. World-Check exclusively first reported upon this corrupt effort to nullify the convictions back in the January 3rd article "Will Venezuela erase a murder conviction in the Antonini case?" We first exposed the multi-million dollar bribe paid to a senior judge to erase an old homicide conviction for two senior officers of DISIP, Venezuela's national intelligence (read that as Secret) police, who are closely linked to the defendants presently imprisoned in Miami, which is scheduled to go to trial in June upon charges of those defendants being unregistered foreign agents. You may recall that del Nogal and Helmeyer are infamous for throwing a narcotics competitor out of an aircraft at an altitude of several thousand feet over the Caribbean. These people are certainly not deserving of the functional equivalent of a pardon under any objective legal grounds.
