The act in support of Alex Saab was held in front of the Federal Legislative Palace in Caracas, where the different protesters appealed for their innocence. The president of the 2020 National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, affirmed that in the US they have not found evidence to incriminate the man from Barranquilla

This Friday, December 16, supporters of the ruling party gathered in front of the Federal Legislative Palace for an activity in which they once again requested the release of Colombian businessman Alex Saab, who has been imprisoned in the United States since October 16, 2021 after being extradited from Cape Verde for alleged crimes related to money laundering.

A group of followers of the ruling party told the Venezolana de Televisión channel (VTV) their opinions in favor of the release of the Barranquillero, whose judicial process is taking place in the US and in which they are currently seeking to determine whether or not he had diplomatic status at the time of his arrest in the African nation in June 2020.

Among these opinions, the deputies of the National Assembly elected in December 2020 Jorge Luis Chirinos and William Gil gave theirs. Chirinos stressed that they concentrated thanks to a “line of struggle” assumed by the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) in favor of supporting Saab.

He commented that the purpose of the activity is to tell the US that what they want with Alex Saab is the destabilization of Venezuela and its institutions, since his “kidnapping” is part of their weapons to harm the country. “They have no arguments or moral conviction to make a sentence” against him.

That is the only crime for which the hatred of the hyenas of the US justice system is directed at Alex (Saab). In the more than two and a half years that he has been kidnapped, they have not been able to prove a single crime in the person of Alex Saab,” Rodríguez said.
