MADRID, Aug 29 (Reuters) –
Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab announced on Wednesday that he had once again summoned the main opposition candidate in the recent presidential election, Edmundo González Urrutia, after he refused to appear on the two occasions before being “subpoenaed without guarantees.” He warned that “in the event of his failure, the Public Prosecution will announce the appropriate action due on the basis of the law.”
“There is a third summons that we will send to you. According to the jurisprudence of the Criminal Chamber, a person can be summoned for up to three opportunities, in this case, as an investigator, to give a statement about an operation underway against him, which also links disobedience to the laws,” he announced to the media.
González, who has demanded the release of official documents from the July 28 election, is in the spotlight of the attorney general’s office, among other reasons, for publishing on the Internet other documents that would confirm his easy victory over President Nicolás Maduro, who was declared the winner by the National Electoral Council and the Supreme Court of Justice – two bodies controlled by Chavistas –
