FBI and Secret Service Raid Venezuelan Ambassador’s Residence in Washington
In a surprising turn of events, officers from the FBI and the United States Secret Service raided the residence of the Venezuelan ambassador in Washington, DC, on Thursday night. The exclusive news was shared on social networks by communicator and photojournalist Kyle Mazza, who attached several images of the unexpected procedure.
Mazza described the intense police activity in the area, noting that FBI agents were seen wearing bulletproof jackets and carrying long weapons. He also detailed that at approximately 8:50 PM, the agents yelled “give up” after alerting that the “police” were at the scene.
The reasons for the abrupt operation in the diplomatic residence are currently unknown. The residence was supposed to be uninhabited after former ambassador Carlos Vecchio left his position in January 2023.
The Venezuelan embassy has not yet made any official statements regarding the raid. The Venezuelan government is yet to comment on this surprising turn of events as well.
The raid has left many speculating about the potential reasons for the FBI and Secret Service’s involvement. As of now, the details surrounding the raid remain unclear, with both the US and Venezuelan governments yet to provide any official information on the matter.
