Statements by the General Attorney Tarek William Saab. 18/02/2024

1. We have been moving forward to report on the participation of retired military personnel in the “White Bracelet” case; within the framework of the continued conspiracy that began several years ago

2. In this case, as we reported at the time, the arrest of the former soldier and terrorist Anyelo Heredia was key, which has allowed us to reveal who was involved

3. In this case, 15 people have been deprived of liberty; and another 4 have a precautionary measure. In addition, there are 15 arrest warrants pending to be executed (…) Among the first arrested in this case, was officer Guillermo Enrique César Siero, in whose residence a military document known as an "operation order" was found.

4. Where all the actions that were going to be carried out in the “White Bracelet” operation and those responsible were specified; in which Rocío San Miguel (RSM) explicitly appears as responsible for some activities

5. What would happen in the United States, Spain or one of the countries of the extinct Lima group? It is delicate to have an NGO as a front for those who practice terrorist actions. Is RSM a human rights defender? (…) The United Nations demands that all its actions must have a purely peaceful meaning

6. It is, therefore, absolutely incompatible to be a human rights defender and take part in a plan to assault barracks, kidnap authorities and initiate a subversive escalation with its consequence of deaths and violence

Saab accused San Miguel of being an alleged "spy" who delivered military information

The regime's attorney general, Tarek William Saab, ratified this Monday his accusations against human rights defender Rocío San Miguel, whom he accused of being an alleged "spy" who delivered information from the Venezuelan Armed Forces to four foreign embassies. .

Saab reported that during the raid on San Miguel's home, 18 maps were seized, which he presented as supposed "evidence" of the alleged "intelligence" work that, he claims, the activist was carrying out.

«In their possession, 18 cartographic maps were obtained in which numerous military installations have been demarcated with their respective security zones throughout the country. We have arranged one of them here, along with the rest of the evidence. Explain to me why you have these maps with coordinates. This should have had military collaboration,” Saab argued.
