Caracas – A Venezuelan court granted an arrest warrant Monday for opposition presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, who claims to have rightfully won July elections that authorities awarded to incumbent Nicolas Maduro.
“The Justice Department seized an aircraft we allege was illegally purchased for $13 million through a shell company and smuggled out of the United States for use by Nicolas Maduro and his cronies,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.“Once again, the authorities of the United States of America are engaged in a criminal practice that cannot be described as anything other than piracy,” the statement read.
The CNE has said it cannot publish the records as hackers had corrupted the data, though observers have said there was no evidence of that. The opposition published its own polling-station election results, which it says show Gonzalez Urrutia won the race by a landslide.
