In his program Con Maduro +, the president mentioned irregularities such as that in the penitentiary center there were at least 200 women living with their children or that a group of corrupt officials alerted the pranes of the operation carried out by the government.
“When the military and police forces arrived, the first thing they did was see a group of prisoners who came out to surrender and told them to be careful because there were a lot of people, a lot of family there. They (the officials) had a very good plan to preserve the rights of those people“Maduro stated.
“In fact, they protected them immediately. They proceeded to search the people who were there. And then they allowed those families who lived there irregularly to leave,” he added.
