The family of a National Guard sergeant detained in Tocorón prison is challenging the details of his case, according to reports from the Venezuelan Prison Observatory (OVP). Relatives claim the official is originally from Zulia state and has no connection to Caracas, where the alleged crime occurred. They are questioning the validity of the case files presented by authorities. The OVP shared the family’s testimony on social media, raising concerns about potential misidentification or a fabricated case. This development adds to ongoing scrutiny of detention procedures and due process within the Venezuelan justice system. The family’s claims suggest a possible error in the investigation and are seeking clarification regarding the charges against the sergeant. EL NACIONAL first reported the family’s concerns on Saturday.
