As a member of the National Assembly elected in 2015, he staged his election as President of the National Assembly on 5 Jan 2020, thereby undermining democracy and the rule of law in Venezuela. The election took place while entry of several parliamentarians to the premises of the National Assembly was blocked by military police, and without a quorum being reached. Therefore, opposition members had to organise themselves outside of the premises of the National Assembly to re-elect Juan Guaidó as its President. Shortly after the staged election of Parra Rivero, supported by the regime’s political party (PSUV), Parra Rivero was welcomed by Maduro and the non-recognised National Constituent Assembly (ANC).","sanctionType":"Financial sanctions; Travel ban","documentUrl":null,"source":{"name":"Switzerland SECO Sanctions List"}},{"id":"951f70d9-0670-4179-82d3-e01d72c0a2be","personId":"8c3a51d1-dfd2-4798-9637-73c0cecc8d0b","regime":"UK OFSI","program":"Venezuela","sourceId":"66ed4dc0-67b5-4ea8-9685-1af45959994b","createdAt":"2026-08-28T12:11:23.316Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-10-19T05:02:06.188Z","delistedAt":null,"designatedAt":null,"legalBasis":null,"reason":"Luis Parra Rivero is a National Assembly Deputy (2021-2025) having been re-elected on 6 December 2020 in undemocratic parliamentary elections not recognised as free and fair by the UK. He was appointed Vice President of the National Assembly’s Permanent Commission on the Environment in January 2021. Parra Rivero had previously served as a National Assembly Deputy for the period 2016-2020. There are reasonable grounds to suspect that Parra has been involved in undermining democracy in Venezuela by taking office as NA President on 5 January 2020 under an illegitimate process. The evidence indicates that Parra didn’t have the quorum for a session, the session was not moderated by the previous President of the National Assembly and security forces blocked access to MPs that tried to enter the NA to participate in elections for a new National Assembly board. There are also reasonable grounds to suspect that Parra was involved with Operation Alacran, a scandal in which MPs were bribed, intimidated and coerced by the regime (or deputies co-opted by the regime) to not vote for opposition figurehead Juan Guaidó. There are lastly reasonable grounds to suspect that Parra has been involved in undermining democracy and the rule of law in Venezuela through his involvement in a corruption scandal related to the regime’s Committee of Supply and Demand (CLAP). There are also reasonable grounds to suspect that Parra is associated with person who is involved in undermining democracy in Venezuela (Nicolas Maduro), through aiding Maduro’s attacks on and attempts to control the National Assembly.","sanctionType":null,"documentUrl":null,"source":{"name":"UK Sanctions List (FCDO)"}}],"sourceLinks":[{"externalId":"42992","fetchedAt":"2026-10-19T09:03:21.061Z","source":{"name":"Switzerland SECO Sanctions List","url":"https://www.seco.admin.ch/seco/en/home/Aussenwirtschaftspolitik_Wirtschaftliche_Zusammenarbeit/Wirtschaftsbeziehungen/exportkontrollen-und-sanktionen/sanktionen-embargos.html","official":false,"entityType":"company"}},{"externalId":"13849","fetchedAt":"2026-10-19T05:02:06.188Z","source":{"name":"UK Sanctions List (FCDO)","url":"https://sanctionslist.fcdo.gov.uk/docs/UK-Sanctions-List.xml","official":false,"entityType":"company"}},{"externalId":"13849","fetchedAt":"2026-10-08T15:05:44.978Z","source":{"name":"UK OFSI Consolidated List","url":"https://ofsistorage.blob.core.windows.net/publishlive/2022format/ConList.xml","official":false,"entityType":"company"}}],"officerRoles":[],"wikidata":null}
