Officials of the Bolivarian National Police (PNB) arrested Roalmi Alberto Cabeza Cedeño, who, according to the far-right leader, María Corina Machado, was “injured and disappeared” by State security forces on January 9.

Cabeza Cedeño was found by the uniformed personnel in a renowned hotel in Caracas, where he was hiding under orders from Machado, after she invented that she was “kidnapped”, after participating in a squalid mobilization called by her, while some of her companions supposedly “was injured and arrested”.

In a video released by the Ministry of People's Power for Internal Relations, Justice and Peace, on its Instagram account, the moment when Cabeza Cedeño was found a blue bag, in which there was a telephone number that the leader, recognized for causing acts of violence and calling for invasions against the country, had given him to “contact him and give him instructions”.

In addition to the video, the sectoral vice-presidency for Politics, Public Security and Peace presented a statement on this fact. Below is the full text:
