Caracas, December 16 (teleSUR-RHC)-- Venezuela’s National Guard has come out in defense of its head, Major General Nestor Reverol, accused of alleged drug trafficking. On Twitter, the National Guard says they reject the campaign to discredit their leader, noting that a U.S. court apparently wants to charge some Venezuelan officials with alleged drug trafficking crimes. Many Venezuelan social media users have also expressed support for General Reverol under a currently trending hashtag #NestorReverolSoldadoDeLaPatria. A Reuters exclusive on Tuesday reported that U.S. prosecutors are preparing to unveil drug trafficking charges against Reverol, citing “people familiar with the case.” Venezuela’s Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino has also defended Reverol, stating: “This campaign of discrediting the Venezuelan Armed Forces and its leaders must come to an end,” and calling for the “truth.” Reuters said there was a sealed indictment pending in a federal court in Brooklyn, New York, but that it was “unclear what the specific charges are against Reverol, or when the charges against him will be made public.” Last month, the president of the Venezuela's National Assembly, Diosdado Cabello, strongly criticized the actions of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency for arresting two Venezuelan nationals in Haiti, describing it as a “kidnapping.”
