British justice endorses heist of Venezuelan gold

2 July 2020
On 2 July 2020, the UK High Court ruled that, on the basis of Her Majesty’s Government recognition Juan Guaidó as president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the claims of constitutional president Nicolás Maduro to recover the Venezuelan gold deposited in the Kingdom were groundless.
Therefore, it is enough to stop recognizing a head of state to expropriate his country’s assets.
Since May, a controversy has been brewing between Venezuela and the United Kingdom at the UN Security (...)

by Samuel Moncada

New York (USA) | 26 May 2020
