Cabello’s statements claim that Lopez Bati is not merely a drug trafficker but an operative for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Venezuelan officials claim this drug trafficker was plotting a false flag operation to implicate Venezuela in the drug trade, potentially justifying further U.S. intervention or condemnation.
The capture of Lopez Bati was part of a larger operation that saw Venezuelan authorities seizing a staggering 3,680 kilograms of cocaine.
Typical.
