“The Prosecutor’s Office has obtained only one percent of the evidence, and the connection to the conspiracy goes beyond Julio Borges, Carlos Vecchio, Leopoldo López, Carlos Ocariz and company; It goes much further. There will be big surprises, perhaps in the coming days, but we are moving forward, whoever falls, be it from the right or wherever,” reported this Monday the constitutional president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros.
During the “Digital Zone” segment of the presidential “ConMaduro+” program on its 43rd edition, the national president was consulted about the revelations of the Attorney General, Tarek William Saab, who showed the telephone audios between Leopoldo López and one of those recently captured in the Pdvsa-Cripto plot , where the former president of the state oil company, Tareck El Aissami, fell:
“I can say with absolute knowledge that this evidence is barely one percent of what we have in our hands, I can guarantee you that this investigation provides compelling elements that a very corrupt mafia was formed, which took advantage of the trust and power that “It was granted, not only to assault and rob the country, but also articulated with the extremist right wing and the US government.”
He said that the new evidence released by the Public Ministry, with audios, video conferences, statements and confessions of the captured criminals, dates back to the months of April and May 2020. “And in those conversations they already said that they had been planning together two years before”. This revelation coincides with the attempted assassination with explosive drones in August 2018, the “platanos verdes” coup on April 30, 2019, on the highway near Altamira, the maritime invasion of the mercenaries of Operation Gideon in 2020, among other conspiracies.
President Maduro regretted that, in those years, the investigations did not yet compromise El Aissami, but the threat was on the side of the Government and Almighty God was able to protect the authorities: “Without a doubt, God is with us, we had the corrupt traitors at our side (…) and when I discover these things I say Holy God, not only the Chinita virgin interposed her hand.”
