Exclusive: ”Trial in London Could Leave Maduro Without Control of Foreign Assets”
Vanessa Neumann, Ambassador of the Interim Government to the United Kingdom, explained the details of the unprecedented legal tussle between Maduro and Guaidó to take control of gold reserves
The lawsuit between the interim government of Juan Guaidó and the regime of Nicolás Maduro, to decide which authority will have control over the Venezuelan gold reserves kept in the vaults of the Bank of England, culminated in London.
It was a quick trial that began on Monday, June 22, and ended on Thursday, June 25. Now, we are awaiting the verdict of the UK court.
If the judge rules in favor of Juan Guaidó’s government, it could leave Maduro without control of national assets abroad.
The Commercial Court of the High Court Justice, London examined the case in the framework of a complaint by the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) against the Bank of England (BoE) to recover more than 30 tons of gold, valued at one billion dollars. At the end of the hearings, Judge Nigel Teare promised to announce his decision “as soon as possible” without further details.
