Cape Verde’s authorities issued the US businessman and the Venezuela Special Special Company in the African Union Alex Saab, reports Reuters with reference to the National Radio Cabo Verde.
It is noted that in the US, Saab is accused of laundering 350 million dollars through the American financial system in favor of the Venezuela government. The diplomat was detained in June 2020 at the airport on the island of Sal during the joint operation of Cape Verde and Interpol. He flew from Venezuela to Iran on a private aircraft, Sex in Cape Verde for refueling.
In March 2021, the Supreme Court Cape Verde satisfied the US request, but the decision remained for the government of the state. The lawyers of Saab considered the accusations of the United States “politically motivated”, reminding his diplomatic immunity. The Government of Venezuela repeatedly demanded to free Saab. After his arrest of the country’s power reported that Saab flew to Iran with the “Humanitarian Mission”.
