In mid‑July 2026 Venezuelan police conducted operations at the Táchira border and in Maracaibo, detaining several individuals identified as criminals. The arrests were part of domestic security efforts aimed at curbing crime in border regions and major cities. A few weeks later, in early August, Colombian authorities, in coordination with migration officials, captured a 44‑year‑old Venezuelan wanted by Argentine courts for alleged computer‑fraud. The suspect was seized on a public‑service bus traveling between Cúcuta and Medellín after an Interpol Red Notice red notice was confirmed. This operation highlighted cross‑border cooperation and the use of international legal mechanisms to apprehend Venezuelan nationals implicated in crimes abroad. On 7 August 2026, municipal police in Los Teques, Miranda state, detained 30‑year‑old Cristian Alexander Nieves Seijas. He was subject to an Interpol red notice issued by Chile for alleged involvement in human‑trafficking and sexual exploitation of minors. The suspect was placed under the jurisdiction of Interpol and the Venezuelan Public Prosecutor's Office and is expected to be transferred to Chile to face pending charges, underscoring continued international collaboration against transnational crime.
