The Attorney General of the Republic, Tarek William Saab, made statements
to the press, from the headquarters of the
Public Ministry (MP) in Caracas , to
publicize the recent actions carried out by this institution regarding the PDVSA-Critpo case.
In this regard, he assured that those arrested for acts of economic corruption were
also linked to “the country's worst enemies (...) They are two sides that disgust each other, but that decided to
join forces to overthrow the legitimately constituted government. They knew about Operation
Gideon, and that is unforgivable.”
In this regard,
he pointed out that Samark López was the
link between Tareck El Aissami and
representatives of the right, including: Julio Borges, Leopoldo
López, Carlos Ocariz and James Story, while specifying that he “is chosen because he was the financial
operator of the mafia structured by El Aissami.”
During his
statements, the holder of the tax action presented a series of audios and
videos that demonstrate the above-mentioned link.
Saab specified that
the data provided on new actors are extremely important and are part of
this new line of research “that we never rule out”, in addition
to achieving the dismantling of this case of corruption, which “is an absolute
victory for Venezuelan institutions. A triumph for an impeccable
investigation.”
In this regard,
he indicated that 32 corruption schemes linked to the
oil industry, including PDVSA-Cripto, have been investigated, and 290 people have been prosecuted and 76 have
been convicted.
“In total,
since August 2017, we have charged 12,639 people for acts of
corruption, 11,254 have been charged and 4,810 have been convicted. This
clearly states that there will be no impunity for the corrupt, traitors,
terrorists or anyone who commits any kind of crime,” he said.
Regarding the
arrests of the corruption scheme in its first phase, he indicated that
“we have 54 involved; and in the second phase there are 14 more. Everyone was
involved in political conspiracy.”
