The movement of two military ships and the transfer of gringo agents to the Cape Verdean embassy are part of several movements in this country to prevent any attempt to escape. According to The New York Times, it claimed a few days ago that the military missile ship St. Hyacinth had moved to Cape Verde to prevent any attempt to escape Saab. He is not currently in the area. El Temps also noted that “two friendly European countries have been supporting surveillance in the area since June, when Saab was caught in transit to Iran, where it was going to negotiate petrol, food and medicine, in the face of the pandemic, but also of the aggressive gringo blockade “.
Saab was captured by Interpol agents on June 13, 2020 when its plane made a stopover to refuel at the island’s Amilcar Cabral International Airport. From Washington issued through Interpol an arrest warrant against him for alleged money laundering offenses. Saab, born in Barranquilla and of Lebanese origin, is noted by the United States as the alleged ringleader of the Venezuelan president and is associated with several companies, including Group Grand Limited (GGL), accused of supplying surcharges to the Maduro food and food regime for government Local Supply and Production Committees (CLAP).
Washington also filed charges last July against Saab and his right-hand man, Álvaro Enrique Polit, whom he accuses of laundering up to $ 350 million allegedly defrauded through the exchange control system in Venezuela. For Garzón “the avalanche of news against Saab makes it difficult to recognize the true origin of this circus process, which is not for corruption but for an alleged crime of conspiracy to launder assets; a crime more than questionable and could break the principle of double criminality in Cape Verde “.
According to local newspapers, Cape Verde Judicial Police have in recent hours raided the offices of two leading African country executives who are involved in the complex legal process against Alex Saab. These are Fernando Gil Évora and Carlos Gomes Anjos, two men who in August 2020 (two months after the capture of Saab) traveled to Caracas as alleged emissaries of the Cape Verdean government to meet with Nicolás Maduro and talk about the Saab record.
According to the Cape Verdean press, computers, mobile phones and documents were confiscated. When the trip took place last August, the government of this country removed Gil Évora from the board of directors of the state-owned company Emprofac. At that time, the African country authorities confirmed that the decision on the “immediate” removal of Gil Évora was taken unanimously, “as a result of the breach of the duties inherent in the public administrator and diversion of the object of the functions “.
The government of that country then claimed that the Cape Verdean government had not sent anyone on a mission to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. “As far as is known, the two businessmen arrived in the neighboring country on a private plane. through the presidential terminal Dos Anjos and Fernando Gil Alves Évora The former is a former director of Tourism and Transport in Cape Verde and the latter is a millionaire businessman in the pharmaceutical sector.
