October 2024, for a period of seven years, that is, until 2031.\n\nSaab, who has also been a governor supported by Chavismo, arrived at the Prosecutor&#8217;s Office in 2017 by appointment of the plenipotentiary National Constituent Assembly, a forum made up exclusively of supporters of the Nicol\u00e1s Maduro government.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caracas.- The National
