Last ref I could find on it was August last year when it was being appealed. The UK legal ruling highlighted for me the utter corruption of the law in the UK in its utter servility to bizarre US political whims. Unfortunately it showed exactly where the Assange case is headed: Battle for control of Venezuelan gold continues Uwe Hessler | Andreas Knobloch 08/04/2022August 4, 2022 The legal battle over 31 tons of Venezuelan gold has taken a new twist after a court in London ruled that opposition leader Juan Guaido should be in control of it. The Maduro administration will appeal the ruling. Juan Guaido may have moved one step closer to exerting control over Venezuela's almost $2 billion (€1.96 billion) worth of gold reserves, but the government in Caracas is in no mood to relinquish the treasure stashed away in the vaults of the Bank of England without a judicial fight. After a London High Court judge on Friday last week decided not to recognize a claim on the gold by Venezuela's central bank, Banco Central de Venezuela (BCV), the country's vice president and finance minister, Delcy Rodriguez, said BCV would undertake all necessary actions to safeguard the nation's interests. "Venezuela flatly rejects the ruling of the British court related to the gold illegally confiscated by the Bank of England," she told state television VTV, asking the British authorities not to continue with "the merry mockery" that former lawmaker Juan Guaido is president of a country. "He is not the president nor will he ever be. The Venezuelan people know very well who this criminal is," Rodriguez stressed. The current BCV board, which is backed by Venezuela's leftist president, Nicolas Maduro, said in a statement that the central bank rejected the British court's ruling and would reserve "all legal action at its disposal to appeal this unusual and disastrous" decision. https://www.dw.com/en/venezuelas-gold-saga-set-to-continue-despite-london-ruling/a-62695909 |
