The attorney general, Tarek William Saab, stressed that there are 20 people who have not yet been captured for their alleged links to facts of corruption detected within three state companies: Petróleos de Venezuela (pdvsa), Cartones de Venezuela (Cartoven) and the Venezuelan Corporation of Guayana (CVG).
Saab said that these 20 are part of a list of 81 to whom arrest warrants were issued, 61 of which were materialized. “Impunity in matters of corruption is not going to be allowed here,” Saab said from San Cristóbal (Táchira) where he attended a public service event.
Among the 61 prosecuted in the framework of the Anti-corruption operation is Antonio Pérez Suárez (vice president of PDVSA), Joselit Ramirez (head of the National Superintendency of Cryptoactives), Hugbel Roa (deputy), Daniel Prieto and Johana Torres (businessmen).
These people allegedly embezzled PDVSA through parallel operations for the sale of crude whose foreign currency for this concept never entered the Venezuelan budget, according to investigations by the National Police against Corruption.
