WASHINGTON - US federal investigators found that former US Green Beret Jordan Goudreau's DNA was found on some of the 60 assault rifles he allegedly smuggled from the United States to South America for a failed coup attempt against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in 2020, court documents revealed.
"Goudreau’s DNA was recovered from two of the rifles that Colombian authorities seized, including one that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms has concluded meets the definition of machine gun under the National Firearms Act," prosecutors stated in the court document.
Goudreau was arrested in New York last week on federal arms smuggling charges.
According to court documents, from at least as early as November 2019 and through March 23, 2020, Goudreau and others are alleged to have unlawfully exported AR-type rifles, night vision devices, laser sights, and other equipment from the United States to Colombia to carry out an armed incursion into Venezuela.....more below
