The Venezuelan president has asked the Government of Peru to capture and extradite the perpetrators who are supposedly in Peru.
The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, has asked for help to Peru and the United States in the investigations that follow for the attack that suffered last Saturday and for which he has returned to hold the exmandatario Colombian Juan Manuel Santos.
During an act with the military that was broadcast on radio and television, the Chavez leader has asked the Government of Peru to capture and extradite those who are supposed to be in Peru.
"We know that part of these criminals, these criminals, these terrorists have gone to Peru to seek to hide, to seek some type of protection in Peru," he insisted after notifying that the Chancellor, Jorge Arreaza, is handling these requests before Lima.
Likewise, the Venezuelan president has said to appeal to the "good faith" of his US counterpart, Donald Trump, "beyond the differences we have that will continue to exist."
The investigations of the attack, according to Maduro, determine that "it is from Florida where the drone explosion is activated".
Maduro has gone further by asking the Attorney General of his country, Tarek Saab, to coordinate with the US Embassy in Venezuela the possibility of the FBI visiting the Caribbean country and participating in the investigations.
Maduro reiterated that former President Santos gave the order to assassinate him and acted in coordination with the former president of the Venezuelan Parliament, the opposition Julio Borges.
He also referred to the opposition deputy Juan Requesens, arrested on Tuesday and still "disappeared" according to relatives and lawyers who have not been able to see him since.
The Lima Group urges Maduro not to "mani[CENSORED]te" the attack to "repress dissent"
The countries of the Lima Group have called for "an independent, exhaustive and transparent investigation" and have warned of any attempt at "mani[CENSORED]tion" to "repress dissent".
Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay and Peru have united their voices again to launch an "urgent" appeal to Chavismo, which has accused opposition leaders and to the Colombian authorities to be behind the August 4 incident.
In this regard, they have called for "clarifying the facts impartially, with full respect for the rule of law and human rights."
