A joint investigative report by Venezuelan media outlets Péndulo Latino and Banqueros has exposed a database of over 400 individuals tied to two decades of systemic corruption in Venezuela. On this blog, where we consistently expose state plunder and abuses of power, this investigation provides critical evidence of how political insiders and favored business figures converted public wealth into private offshore fortunes.
The investigation outlines a continuous structure spanning the administrations of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro to the political network surrounding Delcy Rodríguez. Rather than isolated incidents, the report details an institutionalized mechanism for mass embezzlement—ranging from historical foreign-exchange arbitrage schemes like CADIVI, SICAD, and SITME, to major scandals involving Odebrecht, Derwick, North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP), and the recent PDVSA Cripto collapse.
This financial network extends far beyond Venezuela. In the Dominican Republic, suspect capital has been traced to banking failures at Banco Peravia and Bancamérica, as well as drug-trafficking operations linked to the entertainment company Solid Show. In Spain and the UK, illicit funds have poured directly into high-end residential real estate to launder state-appropriated assets.
The database highlights key political and corporate operators, including Wilmer Ruperti, Moris Beracha, Jesús Alfredo Vergara, Juan Carlos Araujo, Walid Makled, Raúl Gorrín, Michu Capriles, Tareck El Aissami, Juan Carlos Escotet, and Alex Saab. Their operations encompass Venezuela's most valuable resources and state programs: oil, electricity, gold, coltan, food distribution via the CLAP program, waste management through FOSPUCA, and connections to the Cartel of the Suns alongside a growing network of Arab-Venezuelan commercial interests.
The movement of these assets follows a predictable trail of global safe havens: Miami, Madrid, Santo Domingo, and London. Prominent figures identified as residing abroad include Francisco Convit Guruceaga, Moris Beracha, Tomás Elías González Benítez, and Leopoldo Castillo Bozzo. Crucially, the investigation reveals that the scheme relied heavily on a surrounding layer of nominees, family members, spouses, and partners to mask legal ownership and bypass compliance controls.
These individuals face increasing scrutiny from global law enforcement and regulatory bodies, including Interpol, the FBI, the DEA, Europol, and Dominican intelligence agencies (CICC, DINTEL, DICRIM). As financial institutions tighten monitoring on Venezuelan-linked funds, the central imperative for independent observers remains unchanged: tracing every dollar stolen from the Venezuelan people, identifying who holds it today, and pushing for full accountability.
