This May 27, the former deputy Adel El Zabayar spoke in reference to the allegation that the US Department of Justice launched against him, pointing him out as a “narcoterrorist”. Through his Twitter account he urged the US to present their accusation under the tutelage of the United Nations (UN).
“Pay for my ticket and stay in the US, present your charges under UN observation. If you don’t do it, just take your lies and bathe in them. US narco-terrorist government”.
RETO AL MAL LLAMADO Departamento de Justicia de EEUU quien me acusa de narcoterrorismo. Paguen mi pasaje ida y vuelta a EEUU con gastos pagos, presenten su acusación BAJO LA TUTELA DE LA ONU.
Sino bañense CON SUS INFAMIAS.
Gobierno de EEUU NARCOTERRORISTA. https://t.co/qp9fRJ85YS— Adel El Zabayar (@Zabayar) May 27, 2020
Likewise, he stressed that he was honored that the United States attacks him for his defense of Syria and Venezuela.
“It is an honor that the great enemies of my native country, Venezuela and ancestral Syria, have the nerve to invent so much injury. It means that we are doing well. Let’s keep going, Syria and Venezuela will win,” he said.
