Venezuela opens investigation into editors of opposition election count website

Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab said on Wednesday (7) that the Venezuelan Public Ministry has decided to open a criminal investigation against the editors of a website that shows election results collected by the country’s opposition.

“It has been decided to launch a criminal investigation against those responsible for publishing and maintaining the website,” Saab said in a statement, citing falsification of public documents, computer crimes and conspiracy.

The opposition to Nicolás Maduro released, on Wednesday night (30), a website that showed a vote count parallel to that officially carried out by the National Electoral Council (CNE) in the Venezuelan presidential elections.

The portal “https://resultadosconvzla.com/” is, according to the opposition, supplied by the electoral records that were obtained and digitized by the opponents.

“Edmundo won, Venezuela won. Find out the results of the presidential elections on June 28th live,” wrote opposition leader María Corina Machado in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
