CAPE VERDE ATTORNEY GENERAL APPROVED ALEX SAAB MORAN EXTRADITION TO UNITED STATES

According to local sources in Cape Verde, the country's Attorney General has recommended the extradition of the fugitive Colombian money launderer, Alex Nain Saab Moran, to the United States, and the government has approved it. Saab faces major money laundering charges in US District Court in Miami, and if convicted could be sentenced to twenty years in Federal Prison. He  has been the subject of sanctions in the United States.

Saab has the right of appeal to the country's Appeals Tribunal, and it is assumed that his attorneys will exexcise that right. His lawyers claim Saab is a Venezuelan diplomat on a "humanitarian mission" to Iran, to secure food for Venezuela. Saab has a diplomatic passport from Antigua & Barbuda, and owned offshore banks in Antigua and in Dominica (2).
