00:00
OK, here, this is a complete report so far of this operation.
00:13
This is the chief of the operation, the gun leader.
00:26
We have many people already identified.
00:29
Many have been arrested.
00:30
We were still pending some arrests.
00:34
All of the ones that you see a face of have been arrested.
00:37
The others are pending.
00:42
We have, they were all operating armed gangs.
00:54
We have two Colombians involved in this gang.
00:59
They're all under the leadership of Jose Enrique Rincón, who answers to Maria Corina Machado.
01:13
They had a great operation of destabilization, corruption, drug trafficking.
01:30
This man, Arcos Urdaneta, these men have been arrested.
01:48
Those who are part of this conspiracy are defending publicly these men who are involved
01:58
clearly in this drug trafficking operation, destabilizing operation.
02:07
This is the mayor of Miranda, the Miranda municipality.
02:16
This is the mayor of Padilla, where the lake meets the Caribbean Sea.
02:27
I want to show you on the map.
02:31
This is the Miranda municipality.
02:36
These are the ports of Altagracia.
02:43
They are mayors who were chosen by popular vote of the revolution, and they betrayed
02:51
the revolution.
02:53
They got involved in corruption, conspiracy, drug trafficking, and they should meet the
03:00
consequences of their actions.
03:04
Loaiza is also a mayor who's also been arrested.
03:29
Danilo Esteban also captured.
03:34
We have six mayors arrested so far.
03:44
That criminal structure has financed election campaigns.
03:54
Of course, they need to make sure that they will be able to continue carrying out their
04:00
drug trafficking through their municipalities.
04:03
We have identified all the people involved, all the companies, and we will continue on
04:10
this operation.
04:13
The president has committed to this.
04:16
The revolution has committed to it, and we are doing what we need to do.
04:21
Why is that all happening in the state of Zulia?
04:26
Because obviously there is no original effective government.
04:36
And if you do not believe me, take the road and see if you can find any police station
04:42
around Zulia.
04:44
And it is very easy in that state to do all this with very little risk.
04:53
So we have to be more severe when we approve candidates for political posts.
05:01
We need to be extremely severe.
