Maduro orders arrest of Guaido's closest man

Venezuela's nearest man to self-declared President Juan Guaidos has been cuffed by secret agents.

Authorities raided Roberto Marrero's residence in the capital city of Caraca. Foreign media write that the operation of raiding the house of the closest man in Guaido could signal a blow by President Maduro against the opposition.

Also behind Marreo's residence has been raided by opposition MP Sergio Vergara, who was near Marrero's residence, but Veraga was not arrested. At least 40 armed agents were involved in the searchhouses.

Juan Guaido has requested the immediate release of Roberto Marerius, and he has even sought international assistance in the case. The site of Marreros has not yet been made public as to where it is kept.

Juan Guaido desperately seeks Maduro's resignation as he considers it responsible for the country's number 1 problems.
