The story claims that there were “high-level communications” between Brasilia and Guaido prior to the attack.

Brazil’s far-right government was well informed of the plans to attack to Venezuelan military outposts and was in direct communication with opposition lawmaker Juan Guaido prior to the incident, according to a report published Tuesday by Brazil’s right-wing media O Globo.

The story, citing anonymous sources, claims that there were “high-level communications” between Brasilia and Guaido prior to the incident as well as the known whereabouts of the fugitive perpetrators behind the Dec. 22 attack to a Venezuelan military border garrison.

On Wednesday, Venezuela’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Jorge Arreaza denounced Jair Bolsonaro’s government as accomplices of the aggression for “supporting the violent plans of armed attacks against Venezuela,” as well as harboring the perpetrators.

O Globo’s report also affirms that the original plan was to activate three military uprisings against President Nicolas Maduro on Christmas Eve, under Operation Trilogy. This included actions in the state of Bolivar on the border with Brazil, at some maritime point and at a third location near Colombia.
