Maduro's Venezuela: 10 years of election frauds, repression, and corruption
Tomorrow, Venezuela will celebrate a decade since the elections that brought him to power. A catastrophe that the de facto president is attempting to cover up by purging Chavismo
Fifty-eight people have been detained thus far for the revolutionary corruption that spread to the Bolivarian revolution's untouchables, including its maximum leader, Hugo Chávez. Tareck El Aissami, the all-powerful oil czar, was not the only target of the purge carried out by the Palace of Miraflores; Álvaro Pulido, a close friend of Colombian millionaire Alex Saab, Maduro's frontman who was detained and imprisoned in Miami, was also targeted. And according to documents from Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), also known as the "PDVSA papers," which were obtained by the newspaper El Nacional, Asdrúbal Chávez, the supreme commander's cousin, also channeled deposits totaling $2.5 billion through an encrypted offshore bank account on the Portuguese island of Madeira and into a company in Panama, with Chávez himself as the final destination.
