Karim Khan, prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), has announced his imminent arrival in Caracas. Khan's trip to Caracas was kept completely secret and was announced by the prosecutor himself in the Colombian capital.

In March, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Putin and Children's Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova. The Kremlin reacted in turn by ordering the capture of the wayward prosecutor in May and the Bolivarian revolution turned him into its "black beast," considering him one of its main obstacles.
