The Venezuelan prosecutor’s office requested a red alert from Interpol against the Venezuelan opponent Edmundo González Urrutia, rival of President Nicolás Maduro in the questioned elections of July 28, media reported this Thursday.
“It is evident that this new and systematic attack is due to our work abroad,” said González Urrutia, exiled in Spain, in a message on the X social network, which was accompanied by a copy of the document.
According to the text, the prosecution requested the international arrest warrant for the crimes of “usurpation of functions, forging of a public document, instigation to disobedience of the laws, association” and others.
These are the same charges that were brought against him when a national arrest warrant was issued that led him to go into exile in Spain on September 8, according to him “under duress.” His defense hoped the case against him would be closed.
González Urrutia claims his victory in the July presidential elections, in which the electoral authority proclaimed Maduro for a third six-year term (2025-2031) without showing the details of the scrutiny.
The prosecution also opened an investigation against opposition leader María Corina Machado, who went into hiding shortly after denouncing fraud in the elections. He is accused of “forging” voting records that his team posted on a website that he uses as proof of his victory.
