Venezuela Claims DEA Agent Arrested in Drug Bust, Fuels Suspicion of False Flag
Venezuelan authorities have reported the seizure of nearly 3.7 metric tons of cocaine and the arrest of several individuals, including a purported DEA agent. The intercepted speedboat, carrying the illicit cargo, originated from Colombia’s Guajira region and was linked to a trafficking group. According to Venezuelan officials, the detainees confessed the shipment was part of a “false flag operation” aimed at falsely implicating Venezuela in international drug trafficking. The announcement comes amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela over drug enforcement and accusations of the country becoming a hub for cocaine shipments.
