At 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday, a group of hooded armed men in black kidnapped Albis Muñoz, a former president of Venezuela's main business association Fedecámaras; Noel Álvarez, the current president of the Venezuelan Federation of Trade and Industry Chambers (Fedecamaras); Executive Director Luis Villegas and Ernesto Villasmil, the treasurer.

Álvarez said that the business leaders were near Fedecámaras' headquarters located in an eastern district of Caracas when a group of five men with machine guns driving a silver van intercepted shot at them. Albis Muñoz, the former president of Fedecámaras, was injured. Kidnappers tied their victims' hands and took them for about three hours in a car across the Venezuelan city.

Muñoz was abandoned near the Pérez Carreño Hospital, while Villegas, Villasmil and Álvarez were anywhere else.

Albis Muñoz was admitted at the Pérez Carreño Hospital with three bullets lodged in her body, the president of Fedecámaras said.
