He was involved in the Narcosobrinos incident, an alleged plot to send hundreds of kilograms of narcotics from Venezuela to the United States.

Campo spent his childhood living with his grandmother and over a dozen other family members until he was seven years old when a mudslide destroyed his home and he was adopted by his aunt Cilia Flores, an attorney at that time.

Many of Campo's family members were and have continued to hold official positions in the Bolivarian Government of Venezuela.

[4] In August 2015, two months prior to his arrest, Campo earned a law degree in Venezuela and had been living in an apartment with his then pregnant wife.

[3] A year later on 18 November 2016, the First Lady's two nephews were found guilty of their charges, with the potential cash from drug trafficking allegedly being destined to "help their family stay in power".
