As this newspaper reported, the legal period in which a detainee can remain without having their legal situation resolved, in this case, an extradition process has already expired.

Where will they send it?
Some speak that now, with this ruling, he would be sent to a diplomatic headquarters in Venezuela, due to his status as a special agent of the regime. But it is not ruled out that it is a rental house or a flat in one of the luxurious hotels in Cape Verde.
The granting of that judicial benefit ignited the alerts of federal agents who have already completed five months waiting for Saab to be delivered to them.
