Saab stated that the measure, which was adopted by a Venezuelan court, is duly supported by Venezuelan and international law. “We have requested the INTERPOL red alert against Javier Milei, the president of Argentina,” Saab said at a press conference.

According to the prosecutor, the claim is based on a crime that violates the treaties against organized crime: “stealing an aircraft, dismantling an aircraft and causing damage to the national heritage.”

Saab also referred to the arrest warrants issued by an Argentine agency against President Nicolás Maduro and other Venezuelan officials, calling them “a de facto action, retaliation and a gross maneuver.”

The attorney general noted that Milei’s government “not only has double standards, but is also extremely dangerous, because it presents itself as a hodgepodge, a subject that does not resemble the issue of human rights, while in that country they are systematically slaughtering the elderly.”

Saab warned that “Argentina’s hypocrisy around this human rights issue goes beyond borders” and that the Venezuelan country continues to be besieged by foreign powers, targeting Argentina’s president, whom he described as mentally ill.

The Attorney General of the Republic, Tarek William Saab, reported that the Public Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation into the platform «Ya Casi Venezuela», which allegedly raises money to hire mercenaries to attack Venezuela.

Saab stressed that “anyone who cooperates by giving money to the said platform is complicit in serious crimes. It is a national crime, because it is transnational.”

Furthermore, the attorney general warned that “they intend to do in Venezuela what they are doing in Gaza and now in Lebanon, with Israel’s excessive attack.”

On the human rights violations in Venezuela, Saab said that we do not have double standards, we investigate the human rights violations that take place in our country. It is a state matter».

He indicated that between August 2017 and 2024, the Public Prosecutor’s Office has charged 2,536 state security officials with alleged human rights violations and that “83 individuals have been charged with collaboration.”

Saab added that 581 officials and 63 collaborators have been convicted. In total, 644 people have been convicted in the past seven years for human rights violations in Venezuela.
