Chile seeks 20-year sentence in murder of Venezuelan ex-officer Ojeda

Chilean prosecutors requested a 20-year prison term for Maickel, the sole defendant in the kidnapping and murder of Ronald Ojeda, a Venezuelan military defector and refugee. The case, which began with Ojeda's body found in March 2024, is the first trial related to the killing. The outcome may signal Chile's handling of politically sensitive crimes involving Venezuelan exiles.
