Ledezma says he will not fall into Maduro’s “trap”.

Opposition leader Antonio Ledezma reported that he refused to make statements from the Madrid Public Prosecutor’s Office, via telecoms, to the Venezuelan Public Prosecutor’s Office; He claimed his case was at the International Criminal Court: “I have to testify before that court.”

Ledezma stressed that “this case is under investigation at the International Criminal Court and I must declare before that court as I have already done on repeated occasions, as I have also done before the United Nations Commission on Fact-Determination. Of course I refused to testify because I have nothing to declare to that dictatorship which does not I know it because I am part of the illegal regime that commits crimes against humanity.

He confirmed the arguments he presented before the Spanish Public Prosecutor’s Office:

“I can hardly expose myself to this Madurista hoax,” I declare to a body like the Venezuelan Public Prosecutor’s Office, whose leader, Tarik William Saab, has been sanctioned since January 19, 2018 by the European Union, a political activist of that pseudo-revolution who runs a “police station policy” dedicated to giving Judicialization of politics, to persecute dissidents, to repair crimes committed against Fernando Albán, against Cap. Rafael Acosta Arevalo, Inspector Oscar Pérez and his companions pierced with bullets in Caracas, of students like Neumar Lander, of Bernalet, of Valenilla, of Canizales, torture against Captain Caguaaribano , against Laurent Salih, Filca Fernandez, Wilmer Azoges, against General Baduel, Franklin Brito, Rodolfo González, Vasco da Costa, among the many victims of torture supported by the illegal public prosecutor’s office in Venezuela.

In addition, he warned that Maduro seeks to “distort” the stage of investigation he is going through at the International Criminal Court “by launching this disguise, pretending that they are busy publishing thousands of files and complaints filed in The Hague Court” and sentences have been passed against them. “That is why I refuse to fall into this trap, bearing in mind that I was never a beneficiary of due process while in Venezuela.”

“I had only one hearing for me and they asked to serve 26 years in prison, also the person directly responsible for these arbitrary arrests and killings is Maduro, he issued arrest and killing orders, part of that deadly triangle of which they are also part Gustavo Gonzalez Lopez and the Prosecutor Kathryn Harrington”.
