From the Gulf of Paria to Venezuela’s eastern coast, a dangerous trade is flowing—one involving high-powered firearms and transnational crime that is leading to political tension.
Venezuelan authorities said they have intercepted two illegal gun shipments allegedly smuggled from Trinidad and Tobago, part of what they describe as a broader destabilisation plot involving Colombian paramilitaries and political operatives.
At the centre of the controversy is a man identified as Gis Kendel Jheron, reportedly a T&T national.
