Larry Devoe, nuevo fiscal general, ordenó retirar de las redes sociales oficiales del Ministerio Público las publicaciones que expongan imágenes de detenidos o que los señalen como responsables de delitos sin una condena.

Devoe sustituyó a Tarek William Saab, quien ocupó el cargo casi nueve años y fue trasladado a dirigir la misión cultural 'Viva Venezuela, Mi Patria Querida'.

La designación de Devoe se atribuye a su cercanía con la presidenta encargada Delcy Rodríguez, quien impulsó la salida de Saab.

Carlos Trapani, de Cecodap, afirmó que la corrección era necesaria desde hace años y recordó su denuncia pública del 5 de mayo de 2022 sobre Saab, en la que expuso nombres, fotos y videos de adolescentes.

This article reports a change in the leadership of Venezuela's Ministerio Público and an immediate operational instruction attributed to the new fiscal general, Larry Devoe. According to the text, Devoe ordered the removal from the Ministerio Público's official social media of posts that exposed images of detainees or labeled them as responsible for crimes without a conviction. The same article states that Devoe replaced Tarek William Saab, who had held the post for nearly nine years and was moved to direct the cultural mission 'Viva Venezuela, Mi Patria Querida.' The claim about Saab's replacement carries an evidence_count of 19 within the article, meaning the article itself contains 19 matching records for that assertion; the claims about Devoe's order and about the political attribution of his appointment each have an evidence_count of 0, meaning our corpus has no matching record for them inside this article. That is a limit of our check, not a finding that those claims lack corroboration elsewhere.

The signal here is a personnel change at the top of the public prosecution service paired with a stated correction of a prior communications practice. The source, Infobae Venezuela, is categorized as unclassified in our profile, so its reporting should be read as a single outlet's account rather than as an institutionally verified record. The claim about Devoe's order is an assertion about an internal directive; the claim that his appointment is attributed to proximity to acting President Delcy Rodríguez, who pushed for Saab's exit, is a political attribution. Neither can yet be checked against other sources in our corpus, because our per-claim corroboration probe cannot yet tell whether two sources report the same claim (0 of 24,929 claim keys cross sources, measured 2026-09-13). The replacement of Saab is the element with the most internal matching records in the article, but that still reflects repetition within the same reporting, not independent corroboration.

The assessment would change with observable evidence. If the Ministerio Público's official social media accounts still display posts exposing images or naming detainees as responsible for crimes without conviction 30 days after this announcement, the claimed order would be contradicted in practice. If Tarek William Saab's personal social media accounts continue to publish names, photos or videos of adolescents linked to alleged offenses after this order, that would indicate the correction did not extend beyond the official accounts. If Larry Devoe ceases to be fiscal general of Venezuela within 90 days of this article, the durability of the change would be in question. These are falsifiers drawn from the structured facts; they are not predictions, and the entities listed, including Carlos Trapani, Cecodap, and Nicolás Maduro, appear in the source material without further claims attached in this set.

The claims, made testable

• asserted — check unavailable Larry Devoe, new fiscal general, ordered the removal from official Ministerio Público social media of posts exposing images of detainees or labeling them as responsible for crimes without a conviction. (evidence: not measured)
• matches in our corpus (not independent) Devoe replaced Tarek William Saab, who held the post nearly nine years and was moved to direct the cultural mission 'Viva Venezuela, Mi Patria Querida'.
• asserted — check unavailable Devoe's appointment is attributed to proximity to acting President Delcy Rodríguez, who pushed for Saab's exit. (evidence: not measured)

Pattern: 840 related Venezuela signals in the last 30 days on judicial reform, presumption of innocence, human rights, Venezuelan politics.

What would change the assessment

• If the Ministerio Público's official social media accounts still display posts exposing images or naming detainees as responsible for crimes without conviction 30 days after this announcement (within 30 days — Official Ministerio Público accounts on X, Instagram and Facebook)
• If Tarek William Saab's personal social media accounts continue to publish names, photos or videos of adolescents linked to alleged offenses after this order (within 60 days — Tarek William Saab's personal X and Instagram accounts)
• If Larry Devoe ceases to be fiscal general of Venezuela within 90 days of this article (within 90 days — Gaceta Oficial de Venezuela and Ministerio Público announcements)
