wednesday morning: It could still be seen Wednesday morning parked at Maiquetia airport outside the capital. ; A Nordwind representative confirmed the plane's arrival but wouldn't comment on who chartered the plane, what it is carrying or its itinerary, according to The Japan Times. Opposition lawmaker Jose Guerra, a former central bank director, said sources inside the monetary authority informed him the plane was hired to transport 20 metric tons of gold comprising about 15 percent of the metal reserves held in Caracas. The Boeing 777 plane, with a capacity for 400 passengers, belongs to Russia's Nordwind Airlines and arrived Monday night. This needs to be taken with utmost seriousness, said Guerra in a speech to lawmakers. There was no immediate response from Maduro's government. These reserves don't belong to Calixto Ortega, they belong to Venezuela, he added, referring to the central bank's president, a close ally of Maduro.
