Jury convicts Pretel Ortiz, Intriago, Veintemilla and Solages

After just over two days of deliberations, a Miami federal jury convicted all four of material-support conspiracy resulting in death, conspiracy to kill or kidnap abroad, conspiracy against the United States, and mounting a military expedition against a friendly nation (Neutrality Act); Intriago was also convicted on export counts. The defence had argued they believed they were executing a legitimate arrest warrant. All four face life in prison and, as of October 1, 2026, were still awaiting sentencing.
