In April 1962, a small group of students and young officers attempted to rob the Banco de Venezuela in Caracas, an act intended to fund a military insurrection against dictator Marcos Pérez Jiménez. This episode explores the intricate planning behind the heist led by Carlos Montiel and José Vicente Ravelo, the chaotic execution that resulted in the death of a bank guard, and how the subsequent police investigation unraveled the regime's inner circle. We trace the connections between the student movement, the underground networks of Acción Democrática, and the disillusioned military factions who realized that Pérez Jiménez’s promise of prosperity had left them with neither power nor dignity. The conversation examines how this failed robbery inadvertently accelerated the collapse of one of South America’s most prosperous yet authoritarian regimes, leading directly to the exile of the dictator in January 1958 and setting the stage for the Punto Fijo pact. #CarlosMontiel #BancoDeVenezuela #MarcosPérezJiménez #CaracasHeist #1962Venezuela #JoséVicenteRavelo #AcciónDemocrática #PuntoFijo #MirafloresPalace #CiudadBolivar #StudentMovement #MilitaryInsurrection #SouthAmericanHistory #Dictatorship #OilWealth #FexingoHistory #HistoryPodcast #LatinAmerica Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
