The Sectoral Vice President for Politics, Citizen Security and Peace, Diosdado Cabello, reported in the National Assembly the capture of another American citizen in Caracas, linked to the terrorist plan against Venezuela, and detailed that the individual was arrested while taking photographs of electrical, oil and military installations:
“At this moment another American citizen was captured in Caracas, who is involved in the terrorist plan against Venezuela. We had been following him, he was taking photos of electrical, oil and military installations, but unfortunately for him, Venezuela has a very powerful antibody, which is the conscience of our people,” he said.
In this way, he revealed that the detainees are related to groups of “accompaniment ladies” linked to the Tren de Aragua and Tren del Llano gangs. According to the information obtained, these individuals confessed that the Spanish National Intelligence Center (CNI) hires mercenaries to operate in Venezuela, with specific tasks such as taking over the Simón Bolívar Airport in Maiquetía.
The vice president of the sector stressed that the three detainees, whom some try to present as “tourists,” are under guard in a safe place, where he emphasized the commitment of the Venezuelan government to respect human rights, to ensure that the detainees are being treated in accordance with international regulations.
In this way, Diosdado Cabello, highlighted the arrest of Czech citizen Jan Darmovzal, an active member of the Czech Army and belonging to the paratrooper division: “The capture was carried out within the framework of the investigations of a terrorist plan that had the objective of attacking Miraflores Palace on July 29.”
He also presented evidence of conversations between Wilber Joseph Castañeda and a Venezuelan known as “El Flaco,” in which the operation to take Miraflores is detailed. “I have denounced several times that these mercenaries would go to take over Miraflores. Because this was always the plan, it was not electoral.”
The minister also revealed that the plan included the hiring of prisoners, to whom some of the 400 confiscated rifles would be delivered: “So far, 14 prisoners have been contacted, including Nudre Javier Chourio Nava, Renny Regino González Gracia and Manuel Alejandro Bohórquez Colina.”
“Wilbert Joseph Castañeda Gómez, captured in Aragua state, was identified as a North American agent specialized in explosives, trained for missions in Latin America. The White House recently confirmed that Castañeda Gómez is an active member of the Navy Seals and that he is detained in Venezuela,” said Cabello.
He also mentioned that all the mercenaries involved in the terrorist plot stayed at the Las Toninas hotel in Bogotá: “The objective of this plan was political and was supported by Iván Simonovis.”
He stressed that this plot sought to turn Venezuela into a failed state, without institutions and linked to crime. He stated that the National Government is working to guarantee peace in the country and that this is not only a problem of the government, but of all the people.
During his speech, Cabello highlighted the work of the security forces in identifying and neutralizing those responsible. He assured that the sectors linked to imperialism will continue with attempts to destabilize Venezuela: “there is a lot of indignation in feeling that the sectors linked to imperialism will continue to insist against Venezuela, but, just as they have been defeated, we will defeat them again, it is not a slogan: we will defeat them again.”
Therefore, he stated that, within the framework of the Constitution and the Law, all necessary measures will be taken to ensure peace in the country. All those involved will face justice and impunity will end.
Finally, the minister said: “All those involved will see the face of justice. Impunity is over. We are going to leave the new generations a country in peace.”
