Attorney General Tarek William Saab announced that two specialized prosecutors will be in charge of conducting the arrest against Milei, the Presidency’s Secretary General Karina Milei, and Security Minister Patricia Bullrich.

The measure is part of an open investigation into the theft of the Venezuelan-Iranian cargo plane Emtrasur, which had been held in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, since June 2022 and was evacuated to the United States in February 2024.

The Caracas authorities are seeking justice in the face of an act encouraged by Washington and considered a violation of international law.

Saab estimated that Venezuela will request Milei and his officials for charges of aggravated robbery, money laundering, unlawful deprivation of liberty, fabrication of a criminal offense, unlawful interference, aircraft sabotage, and conspiracy to commit a crime.

The indictments and arrest warrants will soon be presented to a competent court in Venezuela.
