Message to INFODIO readers: investigative journalism, which is what this site does, takes time. Lots of time. Time is money.

To all readers, do the right thing, the honest thing: support independent investigative journalism, help us expose rampant corruption.
Let me start with the basics: El Universal, one of Venezuela's oldest newspapers, was sold recently to a Spanish company called Epalisticia.
Epalisiticia, a €3,500 shell registered in July 2013, has one shareholder: Tecnobreaks Inc.
Insistent rumours had been making the rounds for some time about the alleged sale of El Universal, Venezuela's oldest and last standing independent newspaper. The sale, for an alleged €90 million, was confirmed this week. The new director is meant to be Jesús Abreu Anselmi, an obscure individual with a rather interesting past link to Gustavo Gomez Lopez's Banco Latino and, more recently, to turncoat -and former Gomez Lopez partner- Gustavo Cisneros.
