The owner of a Venezuelan television channel opposed to the government of Hugo Chavez says he is seeking political asylum in the United States.
Globovision president Guillermo Zuloaga fled to the US in June after the Caracas government issued a warrant for his arrest on fraud charges relating to his car dealership business.
Zuloaga said the charges were trumped up charges, as were allegations of his involvement in a plot to assassinate Chavez.
The Venezuelan president has waged a long-running campaign against Globovision.
