Venezuela’s judicial branch convicted two American soldiers who took part in Operacion Gedeon, a paramilitary operation planned to assassinate the country’s President Nicolas Maduro a few months ago.
Luke Denman and Airan Berry confessed that they were hired by US-backed opposition leader Juan Guaido to take the life of Maduro, and consequently a criminal tribunal found them guilty.
The two American mercenaries were caught by Venezuelan military officials and failed to achieve their goal in Caracas.
