Wife Of Opposition Leader Leopoldo Lopez Summoned To Court

A Venezuelan court summoned Lilian Tintori, wife of opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, on Friday (September 1) for a hearing related to a seizure of a large sum of cash from a vehicle she owns.

The notice, which was accessed by Reuters, indicates that Tintori must appear in a Caracas court on September 5.

Tintori spoke out about the summons on Twitter and where she said “it is not a crime to have cash on your property.”

Authorities seized some 200 million bolivares (some $12,000 US) stacked inside wooden boxes from the vehicle.

Tintori said the money was intended to pay for the medical expenses of her 100-year-old grandmother who has been hospitalized in recent days.
