Edmundo González had already committed "outright contempt and disrespect for the Supreme Court of Justice, by not responding to the calls made by the electoral chamber." 

Caracas, August 24 (RHC)-- Venezuela's Attorney General, Tarek William Saab, has issued a summons on Saturday to former presidential candidate Edmundo González Urrutia to give statements regarding his alleged responsibility in several crimes after the July 28 elections.

As announced last Friday at his press conference, the attorney general bases his summons on the alleged crimes of usurpation of functions, forgery of public documents, instigation to disobedience of the law, computer crimes, criminal association and conspiracy.

According to the note, González Urrutia will also have to answer for the publication of forged documents through the website www.resultadosconvenezuela.com.

The day before, in a statement on the matter, the attorney general said that González "has to come to this summons so that he can speak, in a consequential and successive manner, of his responsibility before, during and after July 28, for his contumacy, his disobedience to the authorities," said the attorney in a speech broadcast by the state channel VTV.

According to the Attorney General, González must make "declarations regarding his authorship" in the publication of this data, since "he has usurped a task that only corresponds" to the National Electoral Council (CNE), according to the Supreme Court of Justice.
