BY APRIL 1968 DIGEPOL'S INTENSIVE INVESTIGATION HAD IDENTIFIED NINE MORE CUBAN PARTICIPANTS AND HAD REVEALED THAT TWO UNIDENTIFIED MEMBERS OF THE VENEZUELAN MILITARY, AN ARMY COLONEL AND A MAJOR, WERE DEEPLY INVOLVED IN THE PLAN. THE TWO VENEZUELANS HAD PROCURED ARMS FOR THE GROUP AND HAD ALSO HELPED TO ARRANGE THE ARRIVAL IN VENEZUELA IN EARLY 1968 OF TWO BOATS CARRYING ARMS. THE BOATS WERE DOCKED AT CLUB PUERTO AZUL AND AT PUERTO CABELLO.3. UPON LEARNING THAT THE VENEZUELAN MILITARY WAS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE PLAN AND THAT THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE RAMON FLORENCIO GOMEZ KNEW THAT VENEZUELAN MILITARY AID WAS BEING GIVEN TO THE CUBAN PLOTTERS, THE MINISTRY OF INTERIOR CONFRONTED THE MINISTRY OF DEFENSE ON 23 APRIL WITH THE ACCUMULATED EVIDENCE COLLECTED ON THE CASE.
