A former high -ranking officer in the Venezuelan army is competing with a recent report issued by the American Intelligence Society for the huge Trin de Aragua gang in all parts of the country.

Jose Arousha, a former Lieutenant in the Venezuelan army, told the recent Intel community that denies that Trin de Aragoa is linked to the Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro missing alongside a major side: the hostility of the socialist regime towards the United States and the commitment to Asmmet.

Trine de Aragua, also known as TDA, is a violent Venezuelan gang that has extracted American cities over the past few years. The group is associated with high -level murders such as the killing of a nursing student in Georgia Riley, which is confiscated by an entire residential building in Aurora, Colorado.

As one of his first movements in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump ordered the Foreign Ministry to appoint TDA “a foreign terrorist organization.”

Speaking to Fox News Digital via Zoom, Arocha, a national security expert at a safe and free community center, said that he is consistent with the Trump administration’s movements against Trin de Aragoa, which is believed to be a “asymmetric war” tool for the Maduro system to plant a dispute in the United States and other countries in Western blood air conditioners.

“The Maduro regime does not need to send forces to the United States,” he said. “TDA is a connection and play rebellion-collected in prison, published abroad.”

However, Arucha’s statements contradict a new public note issued by US intelligence agencies last month, which denied any strong relationship between the Maduro government in Karacas and the gang.

“While the easily Venezuela environment enables TDA to work, the Maduro system may not have the policy of cooperation with TDA and does not direct TDA movement to operations and operations in the United States,” says the report.

The report says that the intelligence community was based on its conclusion “on the procedures for enforcement of the Venezuelan law that shows the system treats TDA as a threat; an unstable mix of cooperation and confrontation instead of directives from top to bottom. [that] Description of the regime’s ties as other armed groups; The decentralized makeup of TDA would make such a difficult relationship. “

Meanwhile, Arousha said, “The missing point here is that the intelligence report is very narrow about TDA.”

“It is about crime and immigration, but they miss after the war,” he said. “They are missing that for the Maduro regime, the United States is the enemy, the enemy was for years.”

“TDA is not a gang,” continued. “It is the arm of empowerment of the Venezuelan regime in the mixed war strategy, and the asymmetric tour of the war. This is the missing point. This is the point that explains how a local gang is now in more than 10 countries, including the United States. This is incredible, and this is not possible without caring for the state behind it.”

While the report refers to the law enforcement measures taken by the Maduro government against TDA, Arousha explained that in fact Venezuelan prisons, including “TOCORón” prison where the gang began, is like hotels.

Tokuron, [which] They said it was the center of the crime in Venezuela, it was not a prison, it was a palace of organized crime. Full equipment, we have a zoo, night clubs and even a prisoner pool there. “

Arocha also assumed that the 2023 raid that was conducted by the Venezuelan government that was conducted on Tocorón “looks designed” and that the main TDA leadership was able to escape through the tunnels before making.

“While the system gained optics of repetition on the crime, TDA movement remained intact,” Arousha told Fox News Digital.

The Intel report admitted that TDA members who fled “maybe with the help of military and political leaders in the low -level Venezuelan.” But to Arousha, the connection goes directly to the top.

He pointed to the kidnapping and killing of the Venezuelan political dissident Ronald Ogida in Chile, which, according to Reuters, is being investigated by the Chilean government as a possible operation, Trin de Aragua under the auspices of the Maduro government.

Reuters reported in March that the Chilean Prosecutor, the Gospel of Valencia, said that the killing of Ajida “has no natural crime characteristics” and “all the evidence we have in the event of this investigation allows us to conclude that a cell or a group linked to Petrin de Aragua, which was a political motive that arises from a political matter.”

The perpetrator also stated that the Venezuelan government denied the unfounded accusations.

Arocha also referred to former Vice President of Maduro, Tarik Isami, who claimed his relations with Hamas and Hezbollah, as evidence that the Venezuelan government is included with the worst enemies of America.

Al -Issami was arrested on charges of corruption and is currently in prison.

“He has a strong effect with Iran, China and Russia as well. At the present time, he is in prison, which means that he lives in the palace in prison,” Arousha noted smiling.

“The Venezuelan regime is the agent of Russia, China and Iran, especially China now,” continued. “They use Venezuela [to] Create a chaos in Latin America in particular … The United States does not face directly, but indirectly, using criminals, using misleading information, using each tool they have. “

In response, Arucha urged the Trump administration to continue to follow a full approach to the government in the fight against TDA. He urged the administration to “increase our scope” by reaching Latin American countries with experience with TDA, such as the Chilean government.

“They now know about TDA. We have to understand what they have learned, and we have to collect all the pieces together to get the big picture instead of the local image,” he said. “Then I am sure that we will realize the missing and the main link in Caracas.”
