Venezuela Extradites Former Minister, Diplomatic Envoy Alex Saab to Face US Charges - Venezuelanalysis

In justifying the extradition, Caracas claimed "Colombian national" Saab was "implicated in various crimes" in the US.

"Holy Shit" a Nation literally turning in their own citizens to US. Venzuela is de facto a US colony.

During his prior detention, Saab’s legal team argued that the Barranquilla-born businessman had acquired Venezuelan nationality and was entitled to diplomatic immunity as a government special envoy. His Venezuelan citizenship allowed him not only to serve as minister, but also to vote in the 2024 presidential elections. Under Article 69 of Venezuela’s Constitution, Venezuelan citizens cannot be extradited.

However, the SAIME communiqué refers to Saab exclusively as a Colombian citizen, without explaining the legal procedure for his removal from the country. Likewise, the statement frames the move as a “deportation” rather than an extradition, although Saab was immediately flown to US territory. At the time of writing, there has been no judicial sentence publicly issued to approve the surrender of the former minister to US authorities.
