Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the assets belonging to Venezuela and Libya continue to be held illegally in British banks. The diplomat drew attention to reports that the ownership of Venezuelan gold for $ 1 billion in a London bank would be defended by lawyers from the Latin American opposition country. She recalled that the British authorities had previously declared opposition leader Juan Guaid to be “Venezuela's only president” … “But London needs more of them,” the diplomat added in her telegram channel.
She also stressed that the funds of Muammar Gaddafi and his family were held in British banks, which were estimated at £ 12 billion and were frozen. After the assassination of the Libyan leader, the money remained in the banks until a decision was made on their future.
“Billions of other people's dollars remain in British banks illegally,” Zakharova concluded.
