Magnicidio attempt against Maduro in Ecuador

“During the UNASUR meeting we received the information, [including] name and bank account, and how much they paid him, of a sicario who was sent from Central America in an operation against me in Ecuador,” declared Maduro today.

According to El Universal, Maduro said that he had immediately informed Ecuador´s president Rafael Correa of the threat, so that security could be “reinforced.”

According to Maduro, the sicario sent to assassinate him had arrived in Ecuador the day before, but added that “we are looking for him in Venezuela, and Ecuador´s authorities already have the information.”
