Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab accused former Attorney General Luisa Ortega of complicity in a $200 million embezzlement case involving oil contracts. Saab criticized Ortega for not investigating the case and held her responsible for the fraud, which involved overpricing in contracts from 2010 to 2016 in the Orinoco Oil Belt.
