BOGOTA, Colombia—A high-ranking Venezuelan military official has been deported from Colombia after being detained by migration officials for allegedly undertaking a mission to recover various items from his country’s now-closed embassy.
Lt. Col. Edgar Alejandro Lugo Pereira was traveling with two women on a tourist permit but was actually sent to Colombia to retrieve passports, documents, and money from the Venezuelan Embassy, according to Colombia’s Customs and Migration Agency.
