Argentine federal judge orders seizure of Emtrasur plane despite Maduro’s claims

The newspaper La Nación detailed that FBI agents entered the aircraft that has been stranded at the Ezeiza airport since last June. This happens after an official march moved this afternoon to the headquarters of the Argentine embassy in Caracas to demand the release of what is property of the Venezuelan State, alleged the representatives of the AN and the Maduro government.


Argentine media reported on the afternoon of this Thursday, August 11, that the federal judge of Lomas de Zamora, Federico Villena, ordered the seizure of the 747-300 aircraft owned by Emtrasurthe cargo subsidiary of the Venezuelan airline Conviasa, due to demands from the United States in relation to alleged activities related to terrorism, according to the allegations presented since the ship was detained in Buenos Aires the first week of June.

According to the newspaper The nationprosecutor Cecilia Incardona supported the US request and Judge Villena determined that the plane be made available to his court and to the federal judge in Washington, DC, Michael Harvey.

Likewise, the newspaper version indicates that FBI agents entered the aircraft that has been stranded at the Ezeiza airport since last June. This happens after a pro-government march moved this afternoon to the headquarters of the Argentine embassy in Caracas to demand the release of what is property of the Venezuelan Statealleged the representatives of the AN and the Maduro government.

In the opinion of the prosecution it is indicated that the plane is retained in the jurisdiction of the judge, who is competent and is the one who also investigates the crew. The mutual collaboration treaty with the United States does not require that there be a double subsumption in a seizure, that is, it does not require that the crimes committed in the United States for which the seizure is requested be contemplated in Argentine law, indicates the analysis of The nation.

The United States understands that the plane must be seized because a trade resolution was violated that imposes the prior authorization of its government to sell certain assets —among them, airplanes and their spare parts—, as well as gives it the power to prohibit the sale —or even the resale to third parties—of those same assets, explains the cited note.
