• Testaferro.Alex Saab, the elusive Colombian businessman at the service of Nicolás Maduro

Free way for the extradition of the Colombian businessman Alex Saab to the United States. The Cape Verde Court of Appeals has authorized the extradition of the Colombian businessman and millionaire to the United States, captured in June in the African country during a stopover to add gasoline to his private aircraft. Their interrupted destination was Iran and Russia, two of Chavismo's main allies .

A sentence that can still be appealed but that represents a transcendental step for that considered by Washington and by the Venezuelan rebel prosecutor, Luisa Ortega, main figurehead of Nicolás Maduro and by the Colombian Government, the greatest financial launderer of the Bolivarian revolution Justice. All an exception in the world of impunity in which the Bolivarian hierarchs take refuge and precisely against a key character within the Chavista power.

"The Windward Court has arbitrarily decided, without legal support and with absolute lack of motivation, to approve the extradition of Mr. Saab and, therefore, his delivery to the persecuting agent for political reasons, the United States," the defense criticized in a statement. of the magnate, including his star lawyer, the former Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón.

This is the fifth opinion against the "special envoy Saab", whom Maduro poses as a "Bolivarian agent" on a special mission for his country. The Colombian businessman, a modest businessman in his native Barranquilla who gave key chains to his clients until he became part of the revolutionary entourage, has failed in his two claims for previous habeas corpus and in his requests for provisional release for health reasons.

His lawyers are already preparing the appeal before the Supreme Court of the African country and, if this fails, "an application for amparo will be presented to the Constitutional Court." In addition, Saab reserves the right to exercise international criminal actions, for which it has Garzón.

The former judge of the National Court has gone from putting the dictator Augusto Pinochet in serious trouble to becoming the international face of Nicolás Maduro's great accomplice. From the hand of the former head of government José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero he also participates in the digital meetings of the Puebla Group, the axis of leaders of the Latin American left formed around the Argentine president, Alberto Fernández, who also include fugitives from justice, such as the Ecuadorian Rafael Correa.

"The decision made is extremely disturbing, not only in the domestic legal order, but also in the international order, and especially in Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, which have been rudely eliminated, something that does not fit in with the unquestionable adaptation to the judicial system of Cape Verde, "Saab's lawyers elaborated on their brief.

The dirty businesses of the Chavista operator encompass the main corruption frameworks of the "president pueblo" mandate. The Barranquillero, after being introduced into society by former leftist senator Piedad Córdoba, amassed his first millions with the Housing Mission launched by Hugo Chávez. Then followed the purchase of resold food at exorbitant prices for the CLAP bags, the Bolivarian update of the Cuban ration book.

Saab also ventured into smuggling gold, buying gasoline from Iran, and maneuvering to sell the black gold from Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).

Always under the direction of Maduro, the alleged figurehead has formed his own parliamentary group with deputies expelled from opposition parties, whom he has awarded with money and perks, according to recordings unveiled by the democratic Parliament.

His power and influence in Venezuela also led him to attempt the arrest and imprisonment of four journalists from the portal armando.info , the first to investigate and air their involvement in the great embezzlement of Chavismo, the largest in history. The reporters escaped from Caracas and today they are in exile.
