Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated four key figures that have facilitated the illegitimate Maduro regime’s efforts to undermine the independence and democratic order of Venezuela. These individuals include David Eugenio De Lima Salas, Reinaldo Enrique Muñoz Pedroza, Indira Maira Alfonzo Izaguirre, and Jose Luis Gutierrez Parra. In April 2020, after addressing a request for a constitutional interpretation regarding the selection of the Solicitor General, the Maduro-aligned Supreme Court of Justice ruled that Reinaldo Enrique Muñoz Pedroza (Muñoz Pedroza) is the Solicitor General of the Republic and has all the functions of representing the Venezuelan State before national and international third parties in terms of the country’s wealth and assets. The National Assembly rejected this decision and Muñoz Pedroza’s usurpation of that office, and subsequently urged foreign courts, international arbitration tribunals, and other foreign authorities not to accept the representation of Muñoz Pedroza or attorneys appointed by him as representatives of the Venezuelan government. The National Assembly also urged competent foreign authorities to sanction Muñoz Pedroza and lawyers appointed by him for their political collaboration with the illegitimate Maduro regime, which is obstructing the legitimate defense of Venezuelan interests and the nation’s transition to democracy.
