The guy in question. I couldn't access the article in the OP; here's an earlier article from the same publication:

https://english.elpais.com/international/2025-07-28/signed-the-horrible-human-being-the-story-of-the-triple-murderer-released-by-trump.html

Ortiz, a 17 year US military member who was court-martialed in 2015, wanted to kill a Madrid-based guy who had an affair with his then-wife. The guy wasn't in his law office when Ortiz went looking for him, so he killed 3 other people who worked there. Venezuela tried him for the crime themselves because their constitution forbids the extradition of Venezuelan-born citizens for trial in other countries. He was serving a 30 year sentence. The Trumpsters were aware of the situation.
