In the event, the parliamentarian was also shot.
The Public Ministry charged deputy Peter José Sayago (Tupamaro-Anzoátegui) with the crimes of qualified homicide executed with treachery and for futile reasons in degree of co-authorship.
This is for the case of the murder of Jesús Eduardo Bolívar Briceño, an agent of the Bolivarian National Police (PNB)judicial sources told Últimas Noticias.
They also charged him with the alleged commission of firearms trafficking, among others.
The accusation was made in the 6th Court of Control of Aragua, which decreed deprivation of liberty once morest Sayago, setting the Cicpc-Maracay facilities as a place of detention, the source explained.
The events for which deputy Sayago is being prosecuted occurred last Tuesday, July 19, on Los Aviadores avenue in Maracay, where members of the criminal group “el Asdrúbal”, a cell of the Aragua Train, attacked a PNB patrol, mortally wounding the uniformed Bolívar Briceño who died a few minutes later.
Sayago was also injured in the forearm. One of the criminals who was injured was the one who told of the alleged link between the group “el Asdrúbal” and deputy Sayago.
With this information, intelligence agents began an analysis of the exchange of calls, which revealed contacts between Sayago and the criminals.
Said telephone analysis determined that the deputy allegedly informed the criminals regarding the presence of the police patrol. Having this information, the thugs, who were traveling in a van, fired their weapons once morest the PNB vehicle unit.
Apparently, the subjects were going at that time to the Aragua Penitentiary Center located in the town of Tocorón, from where the criminal organization is allegedly directed.
Along with Sayago, LR Nieves Piña and NJ Mendoza Romero were also charged, the source explained.
The day following the bloody event occurred on Los Aviadores de Maracay avenue, the Tupamaro Movement issued a statement stating that “the comrade, along with another militant, were circulating in the area at the time an exchange of fire occurred.” .
Tupamaro maintains that “these actions, associated with criminal gangs and paramilitaries, seek to frighten the population, demoralize and demobilize it.”
