Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab has announced the appointment of two specialized prosecutors to issue an arrest warrant for Argentine President Javier Miley; his sister Karina Miley, the Argentine presidential secretary general; and Security Minister Patricia Bullrich.

They are accused of “Theft” of Venezuelan-Iranian plane which took place in Buenos Aires in 2022 and was sent to the United States this year.

“Miley has become a cruel danger to the entire hemisphere. One of the most prominent cases in which the prosecutor’s office has launched an investigation based on international law and the law that governs our country is the hijacking of the Emtrasur,” the prosecutor said at a press conference.

Saab said his office would investigate alleged crimes against humanity in Argentina, condemning “attacks” on the elderly and young people, citing repression during anti-government demonstrations.

He claimed that Miley “attacks Venezuela, Venezuelan democratic institutions, the Venezuelan state and those who ‘motu proprio’ consider Bolivarian nationalism as part of the doctrine of the liberation of the people.”

Argentina ‘denies’ arrest warrant request

Argentina’s Foreign Ministry has rejected a request from Venezuela’s attorney general to issue arrest warrants.

“The Argentine Republic cancels the arrest warrants issued by the Attorney General of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela against the President of the Nation, Javier Miley, the Secretary General of the President, Karina Miley, and the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, as a result of the incident with the Emtrasur plane,” the ministerial portfolio said in a statement published on its X account.

He also assured that the case was decided by the country’s judiciary, which he considers “independent,” so the government “cannot and should not have any interference.”

The Argentine government also recalled that in the country “the separation of powers and the independence of judges prevail”, in contrast to what is “unfortunately” happening in Venezuela. (Europa Press).
