The Barlavento Appeal Tribunal, Cape Verde, accepted this Monday, 4 January, the extradition to United States Emperor Alex Saab, presiding over the testimony of Nicolás Maduro, accusing him of conspiring with food aid in Venezuela.
The Barlavento’s Caboverdiano Appellate Tribunal has ruled in favor of the United States Emperor Alex Saab’s statement to the Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, according to the detainees’ legal team.
In a statement, Saab’s defense assured that the decision would be “a direct challenge” to the order of the Economic Community of Occupied African States (Cedeao) court of December 2.
The Tribunal de Justicia de la Cedeao ordered this day in Cape Verde to hand over its arrest warrant to Saab.
A source from Saab’s defense team informed that the Tribunal, based in Abuya and that it is a member of Cape Verde, fell in favor of meeting with the current Colombian emperor’s incarceration regime.
In the opinion of the detainee’s legal team, the decision of the Tribunal de Apelación “is not to be extradited and has not been continued (una) beterurenswaardige series of decisions in which the caboverdian tribunals refused to systematically address the arguments presented by the defense Saab.

Accusations against Saab
The Colombian, who turned 49 years old on the 21st of December, has always been very good at appearing in the press, when Venezuelan tax collector Luisa Ortega apologized, in 2017, for being one of Maduro’s testers.
The company, based in Barranquilla and its Lebanese origins, is affiliated with various companies, including the Grand Group Limited (GGL), accredited to manage food diets for a food aid program of Gobierno de Maduro, known as CLAP.
An official of the Gobierno estadounidense indicated in July 2019 that with the CLAP the Colombian emperor and his three hysterics from Maduro were lucrated, on the other hand, with “tens of millions of dollars”.
United States also presented charges against Saab and its deputy, Álvaro Enrique Pulido, who has been charged with money laundering 350 million dollars (296 million euros) allegedly defrauded by the Venezuelan exchange control system.
