Maracaibo Police Accused of Theft, Filing False Counter-Complaint

Maracaibo Motorcycle Theft Sparks Police Misconduct Allegations A public complaint has been filed against police officers in Maracaibo, Venezuela, accused of stealing a motorcycle and subsequently filing a false counter-complaint. Luis Cardozo, the victim, alleges that officers from the Policía Nacional Bolivariana (PNB) stole his motorcycle after falsely identifying themselves as buyers. The incident was recorded on video, showing the officers' actions and the victim's subsequent struggle. "They are trying to cover up the problem because my initial complaint went viral on social media," Cardozo stated in a recent interview. The video evidence also shows an officer, identified as Álvarez Rosleny, with an injury to her neck. The police claim this injury was inflicted by Cardozo's wife. However, the video appears to contradict this claim. The case is currently under investigation by the Fiscalía. The video evidence provides a compelling narrative that warrants further investigation into the accusations of police misconduct.
