Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has firmly denied claims that a paramilitary group entered Venezuela from Trinidad and Tobago, declaring the government has seen no evidence to support such assertions.
“I say categorically we have no evidence to validate this at this point,” she said, addressing reports circulating in both Venezuelan and local media.
Persad-Bissessar referred specifically to a report in the Venezuelan press in which the Justice Minister alleged that Trinidadian national Guis Kendell Jerome had been captured among the group. “Again, we have seen no evidence to support the comments from these Venezuelan officials,” she said.
