Despite Venezuela’s repeated claims that Colombian paramilitary groups were behind last month’s assassination of National Assembly Deputy Robert Serra, authorities have failed to provide tangible proof, Colombia’s ambassador to that country said Wednesday.
In an interview with Colombia’s W Radio, Ambassador Luis Eladio Pérez said Venezuelan authorities had not cleared up the nature of the crime and that, at this point, any Colombian connection was tentative at best.

Venezuela has arrested 10 people, including the head of Serra’s bodyguards. Early this month, acting on a Venezuelan warrant, Colombia detained Leiva Padilla Mendoza, known as “Colombia,” in the port city of Cartagena.

“The assassination was committed by Congressman Serra’s own bodyguards, but we don’t know the motive,” Pérez said. “Among that group was the citizen known as ‘Colombia’ who is Venezuelan with Colombian parents…That’s the only connection with Colombia.”
