The Sectorial Vice President of Public Security Policy and Peace, Diosdado Cabello Rondón, stated that the United States, through the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (CIA) as operational agents, sends weapons to Venezuela and other countries.

“It's proven and they know it. The United States has Álvaro Uribe, Iván Simonovis, Carlos Vecchio, Julio Borges and María Corina Machado in Venezuela, Colombia, to carry out the operations,” Cabello said at a press conference.

The Minister of Internal Relations, Justice and Peace recalled that Colombia has acted as a recruiter for citizens to come to Venezuela as terrorists and mercenaries. “In Zulia, we captured a group of weapons, American-made, American AK-type rifles. They are weapons that they use to destabilize countries,” he added.

The head of the Interiors portfolio emphasized that these operations are coordinated by Iván Simonovis. “He is a mercenary arms dealer, not only for Venezuela, but for the world, he is a mercenary protected by the United States, because he is their agent,” he said.

He also announced that there is a citizen, under the alias of Deivis, who remains to be identified and captured, “he was the person responsible for sending the weapons with Simonovis as an intermediary”.

“The investigations allowed us to reach a group of former police officers linked to Simonovis who were bringing weapons to Venezuela, identified as Michell Ramírez, Mauricio Andrade, Leonardo Atilio and Argenis Alcalá,” he said.

He explained that during that operation, 24 rifles were seized, which they brought in pieces and armed here. “We have guides and we know that there are a larger number of rifles that were sent in parts and we are after those weapons,” he explained.
