Saab could ask to be sent to a diplomatic headquarters in Venezuela, due to his status as a special agent of the regime.
The imminent granting of that judicial benefit ignited the alerts of federal agents who have already completed five months waiting for Saab to be delivered

On October 21, EL TIEMPO reported that, after studying the decisions that courts have taken about the shipment of Saab to the United States, the Supreme Court of that African island country reported that it was not competent to decide on the merits of its shipment to the United States. .
Consequently, the case was returned to the Court of Appeals, again delaying the release or extradition of Saab, prosecuted in the United States for money laundering and corruption, linked to the Nicolás Maduro regime.

“This resolution states that said court does not have jurisdiction to decide on matters related to house arrest, and therefore takes the position of returning the case to the Court of Appeals of the country, so that it is the one to study the provisional measures requested by the legal team of the affected person ”, assured his lawyers in a statement to the press.
The United States has not ruled on this procedural novelty. The last thing they pointed out was that the accounts of Saab’s torture were false.
“Saab’s claims that he is being tortured are demonstrably false (…). It is well documented that both Saab and the Maduro regime have launched an aggressive campaign of lies and misinformation in an attempt to influence the Cape Verdean legal process and international public opinion, “the State Department said.
