Operation ‘Golden Dynamite’: Video Details Machado’s Covert Escape From Venezuela | Watch

A gripping video released by Grey Bull Rescue captures the clandestine exfiltration of Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado from Nicolas Maduro's grip in December 2025. Hidden for nearly a year in a Caracas suburb after her public office ban, Machado donned a wig and disguise to slip to a coastal village on December 8. From there, a skiff ferried her through perilous night waters to a rally point near Curacao, where Bryan Stern's team waited on a second vessel despite communication blackouts and storms. Audio snippets highlighted the peril.
