Venezuela's first lady says U.S. DEA kidnapped her nephews

PanARMENIAN.Net - Venezuela's first lady on Tuesday, January 12 broke her silence on the arrest of her two nephews on drug trafficking charges, saying they were kidnapped by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, according to the Associated Press.
Cilia Flores, who serves in congress, told Venezuelan weekly Tal Cual that the U.S. was seeking revenge and trying to force the socialists from power in the South American country.
She said the government had proof that the DEA had conducted an illegal operation on Venezuelan soil and "violated our sovereignty."
. . .
Flores had refrained from addressing the case. But that's been increasingly hard to do after the opposition won control of congress and allowed reporters to enter the congressional chamber for the first time in years.
Last week, Flores was filmed ignoring direct questions from reporters on the topic, which local press has dubbed the "narconephews" scandal.

Very shabby, throwing open the doors to their right-wing press to waddle around in the chamber, instead of interviewing them the way reporters do everywhere else. What next, partying with them at their desks? Having the reporters bring them food? Play boardgames? Drink?

Not that I can vouch for the DEA.
