(Bloomberg) -- Colombia says it barred entry to 10 people close to the Venezuelan government, including President Nicolas Maduro’s cousin.

The cousin, Argimiro Maduro, his wife and three children were among the group that was prevented from crossing into La Guajira province in Colombia’s north-east on March 11, according to Colombia’s migration authority.

The people were on the list of more than 300 people close to Maduro who are barred from entering Colombia, the migration authority said in a written statement.
