Maduro shows identification documents of the captured American ‘mercenaries’ in Caracas on May 6.
“They are convicts, confessed, caught red-handed and are being judged by the republic’s attorney-general, by Venezuela’s civil courts, and the process will be full of guarantees and fair,” said Maduro. US President Donald Trump had denied any involvement by his administration with the mission, and Washington accused Maduro of launching a “disinformation campaign.”
Denman and Berry are among 17 people arrested for allegedly being part of an invasion force that was intercepted early Sunday just off the coast, about 40 minutes from the capital Caracas.“They have confessed their guilt, they broke international law, they broke Venezuelan law,” Maduro said. Maduro described the raid as a “remake” of the failed 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, when Cuban exiles covertly financed and directed by the US government attempted to overthrow then Cuba leader Fidel Castro.
He told The Washington Post that he hired Denman and Berry as “supervisors” and had known them for years.
