The General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS) has urged countries in the hemisphere to ignore any attempted acts by Venezuela’s “illegitimate Supreme Court of Justice”, particularly extradition requests.

The OAS Secretariat made the call on the heels of what it said are “spurious extradition requests” made by the court, “headed by its illegal president Maikel Moreno”, which are linked to the alleged attack against the country’s President Nicolás Maduro.

Venezuela’s Supreme Court has formally requested the extradition of eight Venezuelan nationals living abroad who have been implicated in the alleged failed assassination on August 4. It has issued extradition requests to the governments of Colombia, Peru and the United States in that regard.

The court accuses them of treason; attempted murder of President Maduro; attempted murder of several officials from the Bolivarian National Armed Forces; launching an explosive device at a public meeting; terrorism; financing terrorism, and association.

But in a statement issued yesterday, the OAS Secretariat said the extradition requests are flawed and “should be ignored by the international community because the body that issues them is fraudulent, its members are impostors, and their positions illegal”.
