“While I was Director of Intelligence and Military Counterintelligence of Venezuela I was able to receive numerous reports that suggested that international financing was taking place. Concrete examples are the following: Nestor Kirchner in Argentina; Evo Morales, in Bolivia; Lula Da Silva, in Brazil; Fernando Lugo, in Paraguay; Ollanta Humala, in Peru; Zelaya, in Honduras; Gustavo Petro, in Colombia as well as the Five Star Movement, in Italy and Podemos in Spain. All of these were reported as Venezuelan recipients of cash.
Gustavo Petro was presented with the document and was asked for clarification. Magistrate Cristina Lombana will direct the investigation.
Petro declared that Petro had the right to truth and justice, and that false statements could endanger my good name or my respect.
