Venezuelan authorities have placed a $100,000 bounty on the head of exiled opposition leader Edmundo González, accusing him of various crimes. This move comes days ahead of the scheduled start of a new presidential term, with both Maduro and González claiming victory in the controversial 2024 election.
Venezuela ’s socialist regime on Thursday announced a $100,000 bounty for information leading to the capture of exiled opposition presidential candidate Edmundo González. The bounty on González, who currently lives in exile in Spain, comes days before January 10, 2025, the start date of a new six-year presidential term in Venezuela as per the nation’s constitution.
Both socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro and González, a 75-year-old former diplomat, are planning presidential campaigns in Caracas on that day. Both claim to have won the 2024 presidential election, which a large number of international observers have dismissed as rigged. Through the $100,000 bounty’s flyer, the Maduro regime accused González of allegedly committing the crimes of “conspiracy, complicity in the use of violent acts against the republic, usurpation of functions, forgery of documents, money laundering, disregard for state institutions, instigation to disobey the laws,” and “criminal association.”González on Thursday denounced Maduro as the “fugitive defeated candidate of the extreme right,” and announced that the $100,000 bounty’s flyer was distributed “at all checkpoints, border posts, and airports throughout Venezuela.” The flyer was also distributed through the social media accounts of the Scientific, Criminal and Criminal Investigation Corps (CICPC)González was the only opposition candidate the Maduro regime allowed to participate in the fraudulent July 28 presidential election, appearing alongside a handful of handpicked “rivals” of the socialist dictator. Maduro himself appeared on the ballot. Maduro proclaimed himself the “winner” of the sham presidential election but, at press time, no Venezuelan government institution, including the National Electoral Council (CNE), has published voter documentation that can corroborate the claimed results
