The family and friends of two ex-green beret who captured during an alleged failed plot to overturn Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro have spoken out about their sons’ arrest.

Former US special forces members from Texas, Luke Denman and Airan Berry were two of a small group involved in the alleged attempt on 3 May to overthrow Mr Maduro. The botched plot led to the deaths of eight people and a number of captures.

A number of the men’s relatives and friends spoke to CBS News about the interactions with the men in the lead up to the invasion.

“The only conclusion I can draw is he was intentionally deceived,” said Daniel Dochen, a friend of Mr Denman. “And Goudreau sent his former comrade-in-arms on a suicide mission in service of his ego.”
