History
Univision has described the unit as a "low-profile" component of the National Guard. Ramón Guillén Dávila and his successor Orlando Hernández Villegas allegedly cooperated with the Central Intelligence Agency in "controlled deliveries of cocaine" in a program titled "Operation North". The CIA installed an operations center with the Anti-Drug National Command's offices in Colinas de Las Acacias urbanization of Caracas, establishing a direct network to the El Paso Intelligence Center. According to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, over 200 kilograms destined for the United States reached USA but got lost in 1991. == Controversy ==
Controversy
Drug trafficking Officials linked to the Anti-Drug National Command have been sanctioned for their alleged participation with corruption in Venezuela. Néstor Reverol, who served under Guillén Dávila, was later accused of drug trafficking as well and was sanctioned by the United States in 2016. Low-ranking members have also been involved in drug trafficking incidents. On 11 September 2013, French officials seized 1.3 tons of cocaine arriving from an Air France flight from Venezuela; the largest cocaine seizure in France's history. Three members of the Anti-Drug National Command were later linked to the event and brought to court in Venezuela. == References ==
