Venezuela investigates an alleged mega-fraud in the state oil company PDVSA

The version of the Maduro government

The version of the Maduro administration indicates that Atlantic ceded that line of credit to foreign funds Violet and Dump, based in Panama and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. In turn, these new “creditors” of PDVSA received the payments, but according to the Government, the credit never materialized.

To support his version, the minister handed over to the attorney general, Tarek William Saab, “certified copies” of the receipts of the 28 payments made to Violet and Vuelca. For the complainant, the entire maneuver was “orchestrated” by the former minister Rafael Ramirezinvestigated for alleged corruption since 2017.

In fact, the Prosecutor’s Office had already requested a red alert from Interpol to capture Ramírez in February 2021, when he was in Italy, although the European country rejected extradition in September of that year. The person involved had a good relationship with the late former president Hugo Chávez, but he has a bad relationship with Maduro.

On the other hand, the attorney general reported on the arrest of the former Vice President of Finance of the state firm, Víctor Aular, also accused of this plot of possible corruption.
