· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Four police officers in Venezuela were arrested on Tuesday for allegedly appropriating money found among the rubble of collapsed buildings in La Guaira, a state severely impacted by recent earthquakes. The officers, part of the Scientific, Penal, and Criminal Investigations Corps (CICPC), have been expelled from their positions and will face legal proceedings. CICPC director Douglas Rico condemned their actions as disgraceful, emphasizing the need for accountability. Videos circulating on social media show citizens confronting one officer and destroying cash he possessed. The Interior Minister, Diosdado Cabello, vowed zero tolerance for such immoral acts, especially during a humanitarian crisis. The death toll from the earthquakes has risen to 1,943, with over 10,500 injured.
