Venezuela’s De­fence Min­is­ter, Gen­er­al Vladimir Padri­no López, is ac­cus­ing “Trinida­di­an mafias” of at­tempt­ing to desta­bilise Venezuela through hu­man traf­fick­ing and the smug­gling of prod­ucts in and out of the coun­try.

Padri­no López made the ac­cu­sa­tions yes­ter­day fol­low­ing mil­i­tary drills tar­get­ing il­le­gal drug op­er­a­tions.

Just last week, with­out pro­vid­ing fur­ther de­tails, Venezuela’s Jus­tice Min­is­ter Dios­da­do Ca­bel­lo an­nounced that two more T&T na­tion­als had been ar­rest­ed in Venezuela.
