The Attorney General of the Republic, Tarek William Saab, announced that his office is investigating the Ya Casi Venezuela platform with the aim of establishing criminal liability for those who are collaborating to bring mercenaries from the United States to the country to “invade” and “kill,” and he assured that he has a list of those who have collaborated with this campaign.
Saab, in a press conference held at noon on Tuesday, warned that “anyone who has donated one, twenty or one hundred dollars is an accomplice because he is participating in the crime of money laundering and we already have several names of those responsible for this whole conglomerate.”
Although the official said that it is a “pantomime” carried out by a “new group of American mercenaries, with the support of cowardly subjects who are fugitives from Venezuelan justice and who live in the North American nation,” he explained that the Public Ministry is “taking it seriously.”
“On the platform called ‘Almost Venezuela’, where we are conducting the corresponding legal study, crimes are being committed even within the United States and on the continental and global level,” he said.
The head of the criminal action questioned that in a public and communicative manner, through “lives on Instagram”, as well as with videos on other social networks, people are being called “to kill people in the country”, which is something unprecedented, “without any similar reference in the world”, he added.
He also finds it surprising that “no one says anything” about such an event, and reiterated that he has a list of those who have supported such an action, therefore “they will have to pay for these crimes that are totally gruesome,” he said.
He said that in Operation Gedeón they used a third-party company, but they never recorded videos prior to the action. “But these people, they almost make videos every day, coming out with a T-shirt, all stuck together, all strange, all pale, talking about how they are going to invade, to kill, and they ask for money. The accomplices who give the money participate in the crime, both national and transnational,” he warned.
