Kremlin dismisses claims that tonnes of gold were to be funneled from Venezuela to Russia

Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov has dismissed charges by Venezuelan National Assembly member Jose Guerra that Moscow has tried to move 20 tonnes of gold to Russia.

"There is no such information," Peskov said in reply to a question.

He urged a very cautious attitude to various "fake news".

Peskov recalled that Russia had already declared its readiness to help settle the internal political situation in Venezuela.

"Russia is prepared to promote a settlement of the political situation in Venezuela without meddling in that country’s internal affairs," he said. "Russia is categorically against any meddling by third countries in Venezuela’s internal affairs."

Earlier, on January 29 a post published in the verified Twitter account of Venezuela’s National Assembly on behalf of parliament member Jose Guerra said that according to information allegedly obtained from Central Bank officials a plane had arrived from Moscow for taking 20 tonnes of gold out of the country.
