A Venezuelan court has officially handed over the headquarters of the newspaper El Nacional to Diosdado Cabello, widely seen as the government's number-two man.
"Ownership of the headquarters of El Nacional and the land on which it is built were directly awarded to Diosdado Cabello in an irregular and clandestine judicial auction," a statement from the newspaper said.The headquarters of EL Nacional was seized in May.
The conviction is the legal follow-up to a complaint filed in 2015 by Cabello against El Nacional after it re-ran an article from the Spanish newspaper ABC which linked him to drug trafficking. After filing the complaint, the powerful leader issued several threats to the media outlet and promised to turn it into a university or use its land for the construction of popular housing.The Inter-American Press Society called it "the theft of the century of independent journalism".
