The Chavista regime in Venezuela has not yet informed the Spanish government of anything regarding the two Spanish citizens detained in their country, accused of terrorism and being part of a plot to assassinate Nicolas Maduro. This is confirmed by sources outside this newspaper. More than 48 hours have passed since the revelation of his arrest, the Spanish embassy in Caracas has not received any information.
The arrest was revealed last Saturday by Diosdado Hair, strong man of the regime and current Minister of the Interior. Cabello came to link Jose Maria Basoa And Andres Martinez of being linked to the National Intelligence Center (CNI) and of being on Venezuelan territory, as part of a plot hatched with the United States to overthrow the regime and eliminate Maduro.
Authorized government sources insist on denying that the two Spaniards detained in Venezuela are linked to the CNI, much less that they are part of a plot against Maduro or that they plan to transport weapons. According to these sources, they do not belong to the Spanish secret service and have no relationship with the Spanish embassy in Caracas. The government admits that there are members of the CNI in this embassy, but this is not the case.
