Venezuelan opposition leader gives U.S. Embassy documents on Alex Saab corruption case

Venezuelan opposition leader Freddy Superlano visited the U.S. Embassy in Caracas to submit documentation pertinent to corruption investigations, specifically those involving Alex Saab and alleged irregularities in Venezuela's food import program. Superlano, the national political coordinator for Voluntad Popular, delivered the information in both physical and electronic formats.

His stated objective is to continue cooperating with authorities investigating Saab, who is currently facing judicial proceedings in the United States on charges of corruption and money laundering connected to the CLAP food program. "Once again, I place myself at the disposal of international authorities, especially those of the United States of America, to perform any type of expert analysis that demonstrates the reality of my actions and puts an end to the false testimonies that, for some time, some individuals with dark interests tried to use against me," Superlano stated via his social media account X.

“

I went to the United States Embassy here in Venezuela to show them all the work I did in previous years, when I was president of the Comptroller Commission of the National Assembly, where we exposed those who committed acts of corruption by exploiting the needs and hunger of our people.

Superlano recalled that parliamentary investigations into the matter formally began on March 5, 2018. These investigations led to international efforts to gather evidence, involving contacts with authorities in Panama, Mexico, Colombia, Bulgaria, and the United States. The goal was to provide information on business networks allegedly involved in the commercialization of food intended for Venezuela. A key case investigated was the "Mexican milk case," one of the lines of inquiry pursued by the National Assembly's Comptroller Commission.

During 2018 and 2019, Superlano asserted that their efforts helped identify companies, suppliers, and structures purportedly linked to irregularities in the import of food products for Venezuelan state programs. He also noted that after the dissemination of documents he deemed falsified, he and other lawmakers went to the State Attorney's Office in South Florida to report the incidents and undergo any necessary examination.
