The criminal gang of Carlos Luis Revete, alias El Coquí, which operates in the working-class neighborhood Cota 905 of Caracas, located at 4.5 kilometers from the Miraflores Palace, challenged the regime by firing two machine guns at the residence where Nicolás Maduro was staying on June 12, 2021, the Spanish newspaper ABC reported.

At least 200 heavily armed criminals control the neighborhood, Venezuelan news portal telocuentodo.com reported.
