The lawyer says that it seems “difficult, but not impossible” for the assigned judge to take statements from Maduro because immunity protects him from arrests, but not from investigations. Nicolás Maduro should attend the VII Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac), in Buenos Aires, on January 24. Another 14 from the State and Christopher Dodd, envoy of Joe Biden (USA), will attend.

In addition, Lijo, in response to a request from the North American humanitarian organization Human Rights Watch, did not arrest the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, for the crime of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey, when he visited Buenos Aires for the G20 summit, but he did enable the Argentine competition to investigate it.
The complaint processed by Farini Duggan was also presented on behalf of the former deputy of Together for Change, Waldo Wolff and the organization called The Argentine Forum for Democracy in the Region (Fader), which also includes: Elisa Trotta (the ambassador of Venezuelan opposition in Argentina), Karina Banfi, Daniel Sabsay, Santiago Kovadloff, Graciela Fernández Meijide, Ricardo López Murphy, Jorge Faurie, Maximiliano Ferraro, Jorge Ferronato, Alfredo Cornejo, Diego Guelar, Álvaro De Lamadrid, Paula Bertol, Brian Schapira,, Héctor Schamis, Sabrina Ajmechet, and Marcelo Birmajer, among others.
