“The Attorney General’s Office announces the appointment of two prosecutors specialized in this matter,” said Saab, whose speech was broadcast by VTV.
The head of the Attorney General’s Office said that the order should affect not only the Argentine head of state, but also the general secretary of his office, Karina Miley, as well as the Minister of Security of the Republic, Patricia Bullrich. According to Saab, the Argentine politicians are accused of theft, in addition to laundering large sums of money.
Earlier, Argentine authorities detained a Venezuelan plane on its territory, on board of which were citizens of Venezuela and Iran. At the request of the US administration, the plane was seized and then transferred to Washington. It was handed over to Florida in early February.
