Caracas, June 27 (EFE).- Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello reported this Friday that the authorities have already identified the alleged perpetrators of the murder of a subject who, according to confirmed reports, was a TikToker and died while doing a live broadcast in Aragua state (north).
"These days a boy was murdered in Aragua. Yes, they killed him live. Yesterday we arrived at the vehicle where he was. We captured a person. We already know who killed him, they are fully identified and some are captured," Cabello affirmed during the program 'Sin Truco Ni Maña', broadcast via YouTube.
In the minister's opinion, sectors of the opposition who -he said- intend to "generate something" to make people believe that the country is in "chaos", were seeking to associate this event with police officers.
"They wanted to point out that it was the Police, if it were the Police we would capture him anyway, but it wasn't the Police", underlined the number two of Chavismo.
For Cabello, "everything is linked to the generation of acts of violence", which he described as "produced".
For his part, last Monday, the Attorney General of Venezuela, Tarek William Saab, reported that the Public Ministry (MP, Prosecutor's Office) would investigate the death of a subject who had publicly denounced alleged threats from organized crime groups and alleged police officers.
Saab indicated, cited in the MP's Instagram account, that "the 69th prosecutor's office with national jurisdiction in matters against organized crime" had been designated to "investigate, identify and sanction" those responsible for the crime of a man identified as Jesús Sarmiento.
The head of the Public Ministry indicated that the individual had publicly reported that he was being threatened by members of Organized Crime Structured Groups (GEDO) and alleged police officers.
That day, various profiles on social media had already stated that Sarmiento's murder occurred while he was doing a live broadcast on a social network.
The victim had disseminated a video, also gone viral online, in which she claimed to have been harassed by people apparently linked to the Tren de Aragua and Tren del Llano gangs.
