Similarly, the senior legislature requested the Standing Commission on Domestic Policy, Justice, Human Rights and Constitutional Guarantees, the research avoque known case of Chancellor, to the alleged outrages committed by the judge residing over the case traveling.

Using Word straight paths, José Albornoz, Secretary General of Partido Patria Para Todos, reported that once listened to the proposals, first, about the company Crystallex and, secondly, with the Chancellor case, two parliamentary bodies agreed separately designate to the Subcommittee on Mining and its Subcommittee on Justice and Worship, respectively, to carry out such investigations.

Crystallex Case

Before the Plenary of the Committee on Energy and Mines, chaired by Deputy Jesus Graterol, the Second Vice Chairman of the NA, requested an investigation for the purpose of the National Government and the country know what is happening with the license " so that, once clarification of the relationship of the transnational corporation with the Venezuelan State and its alleged involvement, among other complaints, the Vancouver Stock Exchange, Canada, "he said.

"We are not judges, nor are we biased" Albornoz warning that the only objective pursued, first as citizens, as Venezuelans, as a political organization is to do justice and protect the interests of the country, we request an investigation into the case of Crystallex "company to put two gates to try to prevent the passage of the artisanal miners, is contained under the contract signed by the parties, as well as the promotion of witnesses associated with the company Crystallex to Caso Chancellor.

He said that after conducting an analysis of the witnesses advocated by the parties to the case of the Mayor of Sifontes was concluded that they have alleged links to the aforementioned transnational mining company that operates in Bolivar state "and supposedly has commitments with the Venezuelan State, and which also revealed that he would be caught by illegal acts. "

For example, to refer the case file where Chancellor referred to the company Crystallex reported that the contract signed between the Venezuelan government and the Canadian company, are omitted certain clauses present at the signing of that contract, as the 7 and 12, which have to do the first, with the necessary technical assistance and training to small artisan miners and the second, with the resources that the company undertook to provide for the implementation of various infrastructure works , school facilities, clinics, public services, "works that have not been executed up to this date."

This is extremely serious and great concern, said Albornoz, because through these two clauses Crystallex is committed to provide resources and assistance not only to the Venezuelan state, but the regional body and specifically the municipality Sifontes "clauses of the night morning, the file disappeared and where there is a presumption that the company would have given the sum of $ 15 million, just at the time of signing of the award, being ignored at a time if that amount was delivered or not, despite it was established at the time of contracting with the CVG.

"

"I'm reporting a serious procedural delays related to the case of Mayor Carlos Chancellor, a four and a half years in prison, without so far known about the status of your case." He said that despite all actions seeking the truth, on 3 December, the judge, Ramon Andres Martinez Mora makes a decision that, to date, has not been published and, of course, does not allow opportunity to ventilate some action before the competent bodies.

Similarly, required that such research is made known to the prosecution, the request also assess why The record contains no clauses referred to above, evidence will be investigated, "he said.

While Congressman Wilmer Iglesias, a member of that legislature, asked that the Subcommittee on Political and Constitutional Guarantees Scheme be part of the body responsible for hearing research.
