Little is known about the professional and personal life of Antonio Enmanuel Intriago Valera, romantically linked with Mariana Martínez, sister of the singer and first winner of the Latin American Idol, Mayré Martínez.
The contractor for the hitmen who assassinated the president of Haiti, Jovenel Moïse, hails from Carrizal, a town in Los Teques in Miranda state. Intriago lived there with his four brothers in a five-bedroom villa that has now been modified to become a commercial area.
Since 2008 Intriago resides in the city of Miami where he worked on the installation of cameras and security systems. His first approach to politics was when he offered his services to the defunct Mesa de la Unidad Democrática (MUD). In 2012 he led a movement of Venezuelans to vote against President Hugo Chávez, after which he continued to participate in political meetings of the well-known Venezuelan diaspora in Doral, the cradle of recalcitrant anti-Chavez.
According to information disseminated in Mayan and local newspapers, Intriago owns a series of companies registered in the state of Florida, including CTU Security, which, according to the description on its web portal, offers high-quality security products and equipment. Aimed at law enforcement and military units.
Venezuela Somos Todos, an organization, in this case non-governmental, with which Intriago is linked, is chaired by Farida Acevedo, a Mexican-Venezuelan political activist, and Alberto Pérez Levy, president of the Venezuelan Civil Association in Spain. This NGO became known in February 2019, but not precisely to carry out a social good, but to organize for profit the Venezuela Aid Live concert in Cúcuta, where Juan Guaidó, with the permission of the United States, the presidents of Colombia (Iván Duque), Chile (Sebastián Piñera) and Paraguay (Mario Abdo Benítez) intended to enter an alleged humanitarian aid to Venezuela, but it turned out to be a political maneuver to transfer material that would be used in violent protests against the Venezuelan government.
Intriago's resume in the United States is marked by several judicial records, and it is that in 2011 and 2017 it was persecuted by the owners of commercial premises for not canceling rentals or for breaching contracts. To this is added the lawsuits filed by a company that manufactures military equipment and a small lender who sought Intriago for not paying their debts, many of which remain in force to date.
Key piece
The name of Antonio Enmanuel Intriago Valera came to light after the statements obtained by the Haitian authorities from the 21 Colombians and two Haitian Americans who participated in the assassination of President Moïse, executed on July 7.
The former Colombian soldiers informed the Haitian authorities that they were hired by the CTU company to provide security services to high-powered people in Port-au-Prince. What is known is that this company, owned by Intriago, was hired by Christian Emmanuel Sanon, a Haitian doctor who remains under arrest for being considered one of the intellectual authors of the crime committed against Moïse.
According to the information revealed by the director of the Colombian Police, Jorge Vargas, Intriago's company had used a business credit card to purchase 19 airline tickets that were given to the mercenaries to fly from the Dominican Republic to Haiti and carry out the assassination. .
Arcángel Pretel Ortiz, a former Colombian military man, is Antonio Intriago's partner at CTU and is known to be a paid informant by the United States Government. After his testimony, the ex-FARC combatant, Franklin Ramos Sánchez, was extradited for drug and arms trafficking, who was confined in a New York jail where he died after presenting severe abdominal pain and not receiving medical help.
To date, the whereabouts of Antonio Intriago are unknown, who according to Miami media does not respond to messages or emails.
