SANTA CRUZ, Bolivia—Exiled Chavista general and one-time director of the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service, Manuel Figuera, disclosed the locations of two Russian military facilities on Jan. 17, which are in the Venezuelan states of Carabobo and Miranda.
In a letter penned just days after Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov said he could neither “confirm nor exclude” the possibility of a military build-up in Latin America, Figuera revealed the location of one stronghold hidden with the 41st Brigade in the city of Valencia, and another in Manzanares.
