El ahijado y un sobrino de la esposa del presidente venezolano, detenidos en Haití y entregados a Estados Unidos acusados de tráfico de droga.

Estados Unidos ha detenido a un ahijado de Nicolás Maduro, criado por su esposa, Cilia Flores, y a un sobrino de esta, cuando realizaban un importante transporte de droga dirigido a EE.UU. Efraín Antonio Campo Flores, que creció en el hogar de Maduro-Flores, y Francisco Flores de Freites han sido puestos a disposición de la Justicia estadounidense acusados de narcotráfico. Los dos jóvenes fueron apresados este martes en Haití, en una operación encubierta coordinada por la DEA, la agencia antinarcóticos de EE.UU. La Fiscalía del Distrito Sur de Nueva York ha presentado cargos contra ellos.

Los pasos dados por ahijado y sobrino en los preparativos de la operación pudieron ser filmados, lo que ha reforzado las pruebas de la acusación. Cuando el avión en el que transportaban el cargamento de cocaína, algo por debajo de la tonelada, llegó a Puerto Príncipe ambos fueron detenidos y entregados a la DEA, que se encargó de llevarlos a Nueva York, según fuentes conocedoras del caso. Al parecer, en el momento de la detención los jóvenes alegaron inmunidad diplomática, argumento que no les fue aceptado por carecer de base.

En sus primeras declaraciones a la DEA habrían afirmado que el transporte de droga se hacía en conexión con Diosdado Cabello, presidente de la Asamblea Nacional, y con Tareck el Aissami, gobernador de Aragua y exministro de Interior. Cabello y El Aissami, a quienes varias fiscalías de Estados Unidos también investigan, les habrían facilitado el cargamento de droga.

No es la primera vez que hijos de Nicolás Maduro o Cilia Flores son relacionados con el narcotráfico. En sus declaraciones como testigo en Estados Unidos, Leamsy Salazar, que fue jefe de seguridad de Hugo Chávez y Diosdado Cabello, apuntó que Walter Jacob Gavidia Flores, hijo de la «Primera Combatiente» y criado también en el hogar formado por esta y Maduro, utilizaba aviones pequeños de la petrolera nacional, PDVSA, para transportar droga, en colaboración con Nicolasito Maduro, como se conoce al hijo del presidente.

TRANSLATION:
The godson of President Maduro and a nephew of his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured in Haiti and handed to US authorities accused for drug trafficking.

US authorities have detained a godson of Nicolás Maduro, raised by his wife, Cilia Flores, as well as one of her nephews, when they were in the middle of an important drug transportation operation headed to the US. Efraín Antonio Campo Flores, who grew in the Maduro-Flores household, and Francisco Flores de Freites have been put under US judicial custody and stand accused for drug trafficking. The two were captured this past Tuesday in Haiti in a sting operation coordinated by the DEA. The prosecutor for the Southern District of New York have presented charges against them.

The steps taken by the godson and nephew preparing for the operation were filmed, which has reinforced the proof of the accusation. When the plane in which they were transporting a cargo of cocaine, which weighted less than a ton, arrived at Port-au-Prince, both were detained and handed over to the DEA, which took care of taking them to New York, according to sources who know about the case. Allegedly, the two young men pleaded for diplomatic immunity when they were captured, which was not accepted.

In its first declarations, the DEA confirmed that the operation was linked to Diosdado Cabello, president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, and with Tareck el Aissami, governor of Aragua state and ex-minister of Interior Affairs. Cabello and Aissami, whom are being investigated by numerous prosecutors, would've been the ones who facilitated the drug cargo.

This is not the first time that sons of Nicolás Maduro or Cilia Flores have been related to drug trafficking. In his declarations as a protected witness in the US, former chief of security for Hugo Chávez and Diosdado Cabello, Leamsy Salazar, pointed out that Walter Jacob Gavidia Flores, son of the "first combatant" Cilia Flores and who was also raised by her and Maduro, used small planes belonging to the Venezuelan state-owned oil company, PDVSA, to transport drugs in collaboration with Nicolás Maduro Jr.

Ooooooh, this is just getting SOOOOO good.

Slowly but surely the Narco-Chavista band of criminals that governs Venezuela is starting to crumble.

Just letting all the Chavistas in this site know, if you still defend these criminals, you would be openly supporting a drug trafficking family. Will you repent now? Or will you still blindly support the most corrupt regime in Venezuela's history?

1. Obviously the godson was a CIA plant

meant to embarrass Maduro

2. No, no, you got it all wrong. Obviously they were heading a humanitarian mission to Haiti

And the CIA obviously planted 800 kilos of cocaine on the plane that came out of Venezuela at the very last minute before it took off, even though they were guarded all over the place by Chavista-controlled military.

5. No, no no- you've got it all wrong.

The coca was planted on their plane by Alvaro Uribe (in person, of course), ably assisted by agents of the Illuminati and the Bilderberg Group.

6. I'm not going to jump on this saying "I told you so!"

Jeb Bush's daughter is a dope addict, and she was treated with kid gloves since her Daddy was governor.
But does this mean Jeb himself is a doper too?

Likewise, this punk decided to try to smuggle dope into Haiti, but this does NOT mean automatically that Maduro is a dope smuggler.
Maduro is a absolute asshole, and wannabe dictator, but so far there's no real evidence of any direct connections to dope smugglers.

7. There is a difference, though

There have been several individuals well within the Chavista government with inside information that have been put under protective custody by the DEA and been accusing many high-ranking individuals within the PSUV as running an international drug cartel, namely Diosdado Cabello. And now it seems we're finally seeing some closely-related people to the PSUV leadership getting caught in the act, and these two delinquents are now admitting that the cargo was facilitated by Diosdado and co. Each occurrence is bringing the DEA closer and closer to Diosdado and his close associates, and the more this keeps happening, the more panic there will be within the Chavista leadership, incentivizing one by one to escape to the US and sell out the highest-ranking criminals of the regime. The Chavista government is finally starting to collapse, and they have nobody to blame but themselves.

8. Aren't many Chavistas want to defend that regime.

Saw two Venezuelan teens get executed the other day. Stomped into the ground, one shot in the face, the other in the chest.

The place is a nightmare for no good reason. Should be as developed as Saudi Arabia, but the money was squandered. What a lost opportunity for socialism.
