Venezuela’s Edmundo González Urrutia, who the opposition says won a July presidential election against incumbent Nicolás Maduro, has said that his son-in-law was seized by “hooded men” in Caracas.
Venezuelan opposition leader says son-in-law kidnapped in Caracas Edmundo González Urrutia, who fled in exile to Spain in September, says son-in-law was seized by ‘hooded men’.
Backed by state institutions loyal to him, Maduro claimed victory in the July polls, with the National Electoral Council (CNE) failing to publicly release results data.
Venezuela’s government on Monday criticized a meeting between Joe Biden and González, who has been on an international tour seeking to pressure Maduro to relinquish power.
“Rafael was on his way to my grandchildren’s school to drop them off for the start of classes, he was intercepted by hooded men, dressed in black, they put him in a gold-colored van, license plate AA54E2C and took him away.”.
