CARACAS, Venezuela — Former Venezuela n opposition presidential candidate Edmundo González has left the South American country after seeking asylum in Spain , according to a senior Venezuela n official.
Attorney General Tarek William Saab, a staunch Maduro ally, sought González’s arrest after he failed to appear three times in connection to a criminal investigation into what it considers an act of electoral sabotage. Saab told reporters that the voting records the opposition shared online were forged and an attempt to undermine the National Electoral Council.
Experts from the United Nations and the Carter Center, which at the invitation of Maduro’s government observed the election, determined the results announced by electoral authorities. In a statement critical of the election, the U.N. experts stopped short of validating the opposition’s claim to victory, but they said the voting records it published online appear to exhibit all of the original security features.
