(CNN Spanish) --
The leader of the Venezuelan opposition party Voluntad Popular, Leopoldo López, told CNN on Saturday that some 10 heavily armed members of the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (Sebin) entered his residence located in eastern Caracas in hours in the morning after submitting to the watchman of the house and without presenting a search warrant or any legal document.
CNN has not been able to independently confirm the incident.
López, who lives in Madrid after leaving the residence of the Spanish ambassador in Venezuela in October 2020, where he had been since April 30, 2019, assured that neighbors alerted him to the situation and informed him that the officials left the house in a truck loaded with goods from the house where López lived with his wife Lilian Tintori and their three children.

Similarly, the opposition leader points out that the intelligence agents took away the security guard they had hired to guard the residence.
He assures that until now they have no knowledge of where he is.
Similarly, we contacted the Attorney General's Office without having received a response so far.
When asked what he attributes such an action to, López says he is not aware of a new measure against him.
He assures that it could be a reaction to his statement in the Financial Times in defense of the so-called interim government headed by Juan Guaidó and rejecting the possibility of its dissolution.
