FILE - In this May 3, 2020 file photo, security forces guard the shore area and a boat in which authorities claim a group of armed men landed in the port city of La Guaira, Venezuela. Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said on state television that security forces overcame before dawn Sunday an armed maritime incursion with speedboats from neighboring Colombia in which several attackers were killed and others detained.

Durán’s role and his closeness to top officials have revived allegations floated by opposition leader Juan Guaidó and U.S. officials that he was secretly working on Maduro’s behalf and had co-opted “Operation Gideon,” the name of Goudreau’s foiled plot. But despite no overt U.S. support, a poorly-trained force that stood no chance against Venezuela’s sizable military and indications that Maduro’s spies had infiltrated the group, Goudreau nonethelessOn May 3 — two days after the AP article — he appeared in a video from Florida claiming that a few dozen “freedom fighters” he commanded had launched a beach raid to enter Venezuela and capture Maduro.

An aviation industry executive confirmed the authenticity of the documents and said SERAMI was used by the Durán brothers to charter their frequent flights between Colombia and Venezuela. Its unclear why the men traveled on the plane to Colombia or if Durán even knew about it. Goudreau hung up when contacted by the AP on Wednesday. He did not respond to a text messages asking about the flight.

During the trial, prosecutors pointed out that Durán used to carry a badge identifying him as a Venezuelan naval intelligence officer. The men urged their one-time friend to take the fall and stay quiet but unbeknownst to them Antonini was cooperating with the FBI and recorded their conversations.

frankmassimino Attempted 'friendly' kidnapping?

Do I have to read the article after reading the headline?

America needs to learn from Venezuela. They voted in socialism and in 20 years went from the wealthiest nation in the region to people fleeing the country to find food. Today’s Democrats are socialists. Remember this before you vote in November.

Fake news. Don't cover for the failed CIA operation overlooked by realDonaldTrump

За такие твитты я люблю твиттер

¿What speculation? Your article doesn't say anything about the raid being staged.

What's happening to Venezuela is despicable. Pure banditry How can the US and Britain allow an entire country be held hostage because they refused to be exploited? Starving millions and depriving them of health care amidst Covid-19 to motivate a rebellion Appalling

Duh

Hello, there was a typo in paragraph, “Alcalá surrendered to U.S. authorities in March after he was indicated on drug charges...” Unless they indicated that he was indicted

F news

So Guaido admitting he paid them....?

The biggest eng language promoters of this story were the Daily Mail so that speaks for itself

'speculation' 'on condition of anonymity' 'claimed' 'alleged' 'partly owned (by person in question)' 'Its unclear... if (person) even knew about it' Classic AP reporting

of course it was... you mean to tell me they went to stage an assassination and they packed their USA passports? 🤣🤣🤣

Why do you people think rich old racist white men hate socialism?
