Luke Denman and Airan Berry, both former Green Berets, confessed in court proceedings to taking part in the May 4 coup to overthrow Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro, said Prosecutor General Tarek Saab in a tweet on Friday.
“They admitted their responsibility,” Saab wrote. “They admitted to conspiracy, the illegal trafficking of weapons and terrorism.”
The plan to overthrow the Venezuelan government, known as “Operation Gideon,” was launched from neighboring Colombia and organized by Jordan Goudreau, another former Green Beret, who runs a private security company in Florida. In various social media postings on the day of the uprising, Goudreau claimed responsibility for the attack that left eight militants dead. More than 60 were arrested by authorities in Venezuela.
