The

Bolivarian Intelligence Service (SEBIN) is

leading the operation against people linked to

Leopoldo López

and the

Embassy of Spain

after the escape of the former political prisoner, who spent 18 months in the diplomatic legation as a guest.

Political policemen have arrested the López family's cook and a private security guard from the Embassy, ​​political sources have confirmed.

It is about

Nubia Campos, in

charge of bringing López food every day to his diplomatic refuge.

"We warn about this new outrage by the henchmen of the dictatorship and we demand that she be released immediately. She has not committed any crime!", Denounced

Popular Will, a

party led by López.

The vigilante captured by SEBIN agents is called

José Jerjes Neira,

as confirmed by the Efe Agency.

Precisely a SEBIN device was in charge of closely monitoring the Embassy of Spain in

Caracas,

near the

Country Club,

during the year and a half of refuge for the former political prisoner.

"Venezuelans, this decision has not been easy, but

rest

assured that you have this server to fight from any space.

We will not rest

and we will continue working day and night to achieve the freedom that all Venezuelans deserve," said López in his first appearance on social media after the leak.

López has been staying since April 30, when he participated together with fellow opponent Juan Guaido in an attempted military uprising.

López left Venezuela

for Spain,

his father confirmed to EFE on Saturday, although there are still many doubts about how he managed to leave Caracas.

López was arrested in 2014 and sentenced to 14 years in prison, accused of leading the violent acts in the anti-government marches that took place that year.

The opponent served his sentence for almost three years in a military jail and, subsequently, was transferred to house arrest until his release in April 2019, when he stayed at the ambassador's residence.
