In August this year Interior
and Justice Minister Rodriguez Torres announced that two Colombian
nationals had been arrested near Caracas. According to Rodriguez Torres the two
were the last link of an elaborate plot by the Venezuelan “right”, Venezuelan
exiles in Miami, Colombian ex-President Uribe Vélez, and Roger Noriega, to assassinate
Nicolas Maduro and Diosdado Cabello. Rodriguez Torres informed that the arrest
had been made with the collaboration of Colombian police services and that more
detentions would be made in Colombian territory.
This last week a new
arrest related to the case was in fact made in Colombia. Alejandro “Scooby”
Salcedo was detained in Antioquia charged with being the accomplice of the two
men arrested in Venezuela in August. However, according
to the chief of Bogota´s Metropolitan Police, Édgar Sánchez, Slacedo has confessed
that group planned to travel to Venezuela in order to steal from a wealthy unidentified
family of money lenders, and not to commit “magnicidio” against Maduro or
Cabello as the Venezuelan authorities have repeatedly claimed.
