36. Venezuela to open an investigation into Capriles under similar fiscal laws and for treason

Sat May 18, 2013, 09:13 AM

May 2013

The formal request to start an investigation on Capriles and Uribe will be made on May 22 for proceedings under similar fiscal laws in Venezuela for his alleged responsibility in the crimes of undermining national integrity, conspiracy and obstruction of justice.

On the same day, they'll ask the Foreign Policy Committee of the Venezuelan National Assembly to investigate the allegation made by the Colombian attorney and collect all the information needed to request the Supreme Court try Capriles for treason.

They view the Colombian complaint, that Capriles and Uribe conspired on a strategy to produce goods' shortages in Venezuela, as very serious.

Thanks Judy. So Uribe is really upset about the Peace talks too. Catherina May 2013 #11
