1.395 Arrested in Venezuelan Anti-Smuggling Operation
As part of an on-going operation against the hoarding and smuggling of basic goods, Venezuelan authorities have reported that a total of 1,395 people have been arrested for contraband activities.
Of these, 995 remain detained, 332 have been granted bail, 19 will face trial this week and 47 have been freed, said Attorney General Luisa Ortega Diaz on Wednesday.
The anti-smuggling operation was launched by President Nicolas Maduro this summer to prevent food, medical supplies, gasoline and construction materials being illegally transported to neighbouring Colombia, where such goods make a higher profit by avoiding Venezuelan price controls.
