Ex-Green Beret Arrested for 2020 Venezuelan Coup Attempt

Jordan Goudreau faces federal charges for organizing an armed incursion to overthrow President Nicolás Maduro.

Goudreau and partner Yacsy Alvarez indicted on 14 counts including conspiracy and arms smuggling.
The failed operation, dubbed 'Bay of Piglets,' aimed to install opposition leader Juan Guaidó as president.
Authorities claim Goudreau exported weapons and military equipment from the U.S. to Colombia without proper licenses.
Goudreau's attorney asserts his client's innocence, while Alvarez seeks asylum in the U.S.
The arrest coincides with disputed Venezuelan elections, with opposition claiming victory over Maduro.
