The Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP) issued a new summons to the former far-right candidate Edmundo González Urrutia for this Friday, August 30, in order for him to give statements regarding his involvement in the forging of electoral records regarding the results of the presidential elections of July 28 and also for his contempt and disobedience of the laws.
This new summons is because González Urrutia has not appeared at the two previous summons, so another call has been made for him to appear at 10:00 a.m. on August 30 at the headquarters of the MP, in Parque Carabobo, downtown Caracas.
The aforementioned ballot indicates that the former candidate will be questioned about the publication and maintenance of the website resultadosconvzla.com, as well as the alleged commission of the crimes of usurpation of functions, forgery of public documents, instigation to disobedience of the law, computer crimes, criminal association and conspiracy.
Under Venezuelan law, if González does not appear before the prosecutor’s office on the appointed date, the corresponding arrest warrant will be issued considering that he is in the presence of the risk of flight, provided for in article 237, and the risk of obstruction, provided for in article 238, both of the Organic Code of Criminal Procedure.
