The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, questioned the justice on Monday of Argentina for the retention of the Venezuelan Boeing 747 aircraft for two months in Buenos Aires, which the United States asked to seize.

“Now we are loved seize a plane in Argentina by a decision of a court in Florida. In other words, from now on a court in Florida or New York decides to take a ship, a plane or any property from Venezuela or any country and can do so,” Maduro said.

“Is there no sovereign domain? Is there no respect for sovereignty? Is there no respect for international law or is it that the United States courts rule in Argentina?” he asked in a speech broadcast on state television VTV.

The cargo plane Emtrasur, a subsidiary of the Venezuelan state airline Conviasa, sanctioned by Washington, was detained last June after landing at the Ezeiza airport, from Mexico, with a crew of 14 Venezuelans and five Iranians and a load of auto parts.

Last August 2 The United States asked Argentina to seize the plane after a District of Columbia court issued an order in July considering that US “export laws” were violated when Emtrasur acquired the aircraft in an operation with Mahan Air, airline affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, considered by the White House as a terrorist organization.

Maduro, who has already protested the retention of the plane, insisted that the aircraft is a “Venezuelan good” and that it has the “property papers”.

“It is a plane that went around the world providing service. How much this Emtrasur plane has been needed in the crisis that Cuba is experiencing now with the explosion of the tankers in the yard (…) how long did it take us to help Cuba, we lost 18 hours for help to arrive to put out the fires”, he added.

The president indicated that he will not “accept” that the United States dictate measures against Venezuelan goods and ordered a team of “experts” to go to Argentina to fight the “battle for Venezuela”.
