Message to INFODIO readers: investigative journalism, which is what this site does, takes lots of time. Visiting media looking for a quick run down on Venezuela's gargantuan corruption, have the decency to at least cite the source when plagiarising this site's content without attribution (exhibit Reuters here and here, exhibit Bloomberg here, exhibit OCCRP here). To all readers, do the right thing, the honest thing: support independent investigative journalism, help us expose rampant corruption. Note added 28/06/2021: impostors are using this site's former editor's full name, and a fake email address (alek.boyd.arregui@gmail.com) to send copyright infringement claims / take down requests to web hosting companies (exhibit Hostgator). The attempt is yet another effort paid by corrupt thugs to erase information about their criminal activities. Infodio.com has no issues with other websites / journalists using / posting information published here, so long as the source is properly cited.

Para quienes venimos siguiendole la pista a la corrupción en Venezuela el caso Derwick Associates es, podría decirse, único. Es difícil encontrar casos similares, y ello, viniendo de un país en el cual la corrupción es parte de la idiosincrasia como en Venezuela, es mucho decir. Para ponerlo simple: Derwick Associates recibió 12 contratos en 14 meses durante la emergencia eléctrica decretada por el difunto Hugo Chavez en el 2009. Tal numero de contratos, cuyo monto total solo Derwick y el régimen chavista conocen, bien podría exceder los 3.000 millones de dólares.
