Edmundo Urrutia reported the kidnapping of his brother-in-law in Venezuela

The opposition leader, who claims to have defeated Nicolas Maduro in July's presidential election, said Tudares was kidnapped while taking his two children to school in Caracas.
Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez- Urrutia said his son-in-law Rafael Tudares was kidnapped in Venezuela's capital, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
The opposition leader, who claims to have defeated Nicolas Maduro in July's presidential election, said Tudares was kidnapped while taking his two children to school in Caracas.
Gonzalez-Hurutia said in an X publication that "hooded men dressed in black" ran over the vehicle and loaded Tudares "into a gold-colored van."
The opposition leader provided no further details, including the condition of his 6- and 7-year-old grandchildren.
Gonzalez-Urutia, a retired diplomat, represented the main opposition coalition in Venezuela's July presidential election, which both he and Maduro claim to have won.
The opposition leader is in the midst of a tour of the Americas to try to rally support for his efforts to oust Maduro. On 6 January, he met with US President Joe Biden at the White House. | BGNES
