The 1st Trial Court of Miranda decreed sentences between 23 and 25 years in prison against seven former officials of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (Fanb) for the murder of a 16-year-old boy, reported the Public Ministry.
This situation was denounced by the victim’s mother on November 21, 2016, before the Miranda 10th Prosecutor’s Office. Two days before, military personnel from the Pedro Zaraza Caribbean Battalion entered the victim’s home in the Acevedo municipality (Miranda). and they took him under arrest to a military base.
