María Faría, Venezuela’s ambassador to Costa Rica, will take legal measures if it is proven that the regime of Nicolás Maduro gave away property of the Venezuelan state to former Costa Rican Álvaro Montero Mejía.
According to a publication of the newspaper Extra on April 23rd, Montero confirmed the transfer of the property located in San Pedro de Montes de Oca to his name. It had been registered in the name of the Government of Venezuela, as the ambassador’s house, since 1992.
On April 15th, Nicolás Maduro’s team left the embassy, after Costa Rica ignored him as president of Venezuela. The same day the representatives of the opposition leader, Juan Guaidó, entered.
The property in dispute is in front of the embassy, in San Pedro.
Montero, to whom the property was transferred, was deputy between 1983 and 1986 as representative of a leftist coalition party.
