Through intelligence patrols and working on complaints received by the community, officials of the
Organized Crime Division of the Bolivarian National Police Corps (CPNB) succeeded in
capturing three individuals allegedly linked to a human trafficking network known as “Manrri”, which operated in the Delta
Amacuro state.
The
detainees, aged 53, 38 and 19, were apprehended during a
patrol in the state's waters. The procedure also allowed the
rescue of approximately 48 people who would be
fraudulently transferred to the island of Trinidad and Tobago, details a press release from the Ministry of People's Power for Internal Relations, Justice and Peace.
At the
time of the review, the authorities found that the group of
people was without the required documentation or the necessary safety guarantees
for navigation, posing a serious
risk to their lives.
The detainees were placed under the command
of the Public Prosecutor's Office, while the victims received
care and protection from the competent bodies.
