As for Venezuela, for the rest of my tenure, I was determined to reach a final resolution.. Perhaps in anticipation of that decision, as you have seen in the media, an ICC chamber received a file from the Venezuelan government asking the Chamber to bring judicial control over the conduct of our initial selection. It was provided in secret, so I will not elaborate on it, although the truth of their presentation has been made public by the Venezuelan authorities, ”wrote Benzouda in his farewell letter.

The ICC Attorney’s Office’s preliminary investigation, which opened in Venezuela in February 2018, has been conducting protests and protests in prisons since at least April 2017.

In the letter, The ICC’s attorney general says the trial is nearing completion and he is ready to present it, But with the appeal filed by the Maduro regime, the ICC has decided to wait for the decision of the chamber before making any announcement.

“These practices and their results are currently classified as confidential We expect them to be made public soon. As time goes on, the only thing I can do at this point is deliver the completed document to the incoming attorney for their final consideration and conclusion, ”Benzouda said.
