Who is Arianny Seijo Noguera?

Arianny Seijo Noguera was appointed Procuradora General de la República — the head of Venezuela's State Solicitor office, translated as Attorney General — by Acting President Delcy Rodríguez and confirmed by the National Assembly on March 24, 2026. She replaced Reinaldo Muñoz Pedroza, who held the role for nearly a decade.

Before her appointment, Seijo Noguera served as legal counsel for Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) and participated in the drafting of the Amnesty Law approved by the National Assembly in February 2026. She holds a doctorate in law from the University of Westminster and two master's degrees from U.K. universities.

The Procuraduría General is distinct from the Ministerio Público (headed by the Fiscal General — currently Larry Devoe). The Procuradora represents the Venezuelan state in civil, commercial, and arbitration matters — directly relevant to foreign-investor disputes including ICSID arbitration, the Crystallex / CITGO writ-of-execution proceedings, and PDVSA-bond restructuring conversations. Seijo Noguera's PDVSA background makes her appointment particularly significant for the oil-sector compliance framework.

Also known as: Arianny Viviana Seijo Noguera; Arianny Vanessa Seijo Noguera.
