Moreno has been accused of an attempt to rape a local police woman, Sofía Aguilar, and leaving several policemen wounded in a confrontation during a student protest in 2006.
Aguilar identified Moreno as her attacker in a statement to state media (Venezolana de Television).
[2] In June, 2006, a National Assembly commission, presided by Deputy Obdulio Camacho, concluded that the accusations were untrue.
In September, 2008, Aguilar was postulated as candidate for the Mérida State Legislature by the group Tupamaro, which firmly supports Chávez's government.
For example, in his Annual Address of the Presidency at the National Assembly in January 2008,[6][7] Chávez said, "Mr Ambassador... you have a delinquent [Moreno] protected there [in the Embassy]; you should turn him to the authorities."
