‘Family of narco who helped Venezuela’s opposition leader travel to Colombia assassinated’
by Adriaan Alsema September 16, 2019
Four family members of the drug trafficker who helped Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido enter Colombia have been massacred, a local investigator said Monday.
The massacre took place days after sociologist Wilfredo Cañizarez revealed images of the narcos posing with Guaido and local press began publishing evidence indicating that Venezuela’s opposition, the Colombian government and US authorities were colluding.
The investigator who has been investigating organized crime in the border area for twnty years, said Monday that “narcoparamilitaries of Los Rastrojos” tried to assassinate “Nandito,” the brother of “El Menor,” who also posed with Guaido on February 22, the day that the Venezuelan opposition leader entered Colombia.
“He was able to flee. In retaliation they assassinated four of his family members including his parents,” Cañizares said on Twitter.
Last week, the sociologist revealed images of Guaido confirming locals’ claims that Venezuela’s opposition received help from the Rastrojos to travel to Colombia and lead a failed operation to force aid sent by the US government across the border.
The United States embassy in Bogota, the White House and the Department of State have remained silent as mounting evidence indicate that the US-sponsored operation to force “humanitarian aid” into Venezuela on February 23 received coordinated support from drug traffickers.

Higher-ranking member of Los Rastrojos nearly killed by own gang allegedly to eliminate witnesses of group shuttling Guaido into Colombia.
The Colombian rights group, Fundacion Progresar, came out Monday saying that paramilitaries from the Colombian narco-paramilitary group, 'Los Rastrojos' attempted to murder one of their own members, Hernando Ivan Posso, or 'Nandito', after photos of Nandito appeared last week posing with self-declared interim president of Venezuela, Juan Guaido.
Members of Los Rastrojos allegedly tried to kill their own member, Nandito, being that he is a witness to the controversial connection to Guaido's illegal passage into Colombia last Februrary when he was already wanted by the Veneuzuelan government for a failed coup attempt the month prior.
Wilifredo Cañizares, leader of Fundacion Progresar, located in Cucuta, Colombia that has been monitoring the narco gang for years, tweeted Sept. 16 that Los Rastrojos tried to kill Nandito, but failed. However, they managed to assassinate four members of Nandito's family late Friday night.
"This is Hernando Iván Posso aka "nandito." Last night, the Rastrojos narco-paramilitaries tried to kill him, he managed to flee. In retaliation, 4 members of his family were killed, including his parents."
