A textbook operation, conducted with surgical precision and absolute discretion: this was the conclusion of Operation Guacamaya, the mission that led to the release of four - and not five, as initially reported - Venezuelan opposition figures who had been in hiding for over a year in the Argentinean embassy in Caracas. Behind this extraordinary success lies an unexpected but decisive protagonist: Italy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A twist worthy of a thriller<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While Nicol\u00e1s Maduro was flying to Moscow<\/strong>unaware of what was happening, according to the Spanish geopolitical analyst Enrique Alberto Fonseca Porras<\/em> - whose video on the subject<\/a> reached almost 500,000 views in less than 24 hours - the CIA (United States), the Italian Secret Service and Mossad (Israel), <\/strong>orchestrated one of the most audacious intelligence operations in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venezuelan journalistic sources, such as David Placer<\/em>, talk about an operation led by the US and Italy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Fonseca<\/em>Having overcome the imposing security cordon besieging the embassy, the agents transported the four remaining men in vehicles disguised as Venezuelan police patrols. After circumventing threats and controls, they reached the western part of the country by land, from where they took off in an aircraft camouflaged as the narcos' 'avioneta', similar to those used by the Los Soles Cartel<\/em>the criminal organisation linked to the Venezuelan government's top leadership. On this cartel, and in particular on Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, a $25 million bounty hangs<\/a> offered by the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operation took place on 5 May, a few days after the exfiltration of opposition leader Mar\u00eda Corina Machado's mother from Venezuela to the United States<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venezuelan journalist David Placer confirmed<\/a> that this was a genuine exfiltration operation, not a release granted by the regime. The action was conducted without any prior communication to Brazil, which formally had diplomatic custody of the Argentine embassy after the expulsion of its staff in 2024. Placer also revealed that this is only the first in a series of operations that the US and its allies would be preparing against the Maduro regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

48 hours after the operation, the home of one of the exfiltrated opponents, Magalli Meda<\/em>, was searched by Venezuelan police looking for evidence, as she denounced by posting video surveillance images on her X account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
