Just a note to explain that I had not understood quite well the implications of the case against Tulio Alvarez. It turns put that when Alvarez went to the Supreme Court to request that William Lara’s immunity be removed, he was not acting on his own behalf. Instead, he had been hired by the workers of the National Assembly who claim Bs. 2 billion in their funds had disappeared from the contributions the Assembly makes to their savings plan, when Lara was President. Only Bs. 300 million has been recovered by the savings plan.
Thus, the case represents an intimidation to all lawyers against taking on a case against any Government officials. Another milestone in revolutionary justice!
