Delcy Rodriguez's asset (Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero) probed for money laundering, criminal association

8 months ago By Anonymous

News from Spain's Audiencia Nacional regarding former President Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero: "La Audiencia Nacional ha abierto diligencias previas contra el ex presidente del Gobierno José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero por su presunta participación en delitos de tráfico de drogas, blanqueo de capitales y pertenencia a organización criminal vinculados al régimen venezolano del narcodictador Nicolás Maduro." Translation: Spain's Supreme Court started proceedings against Zapatero for alleged involvement in drug trafficking, money laundering and criminal association. Zapatero has been for many years an asset of Delcy and Jorge Rodriguez.

Zapatero was in hot water in Spain before President's Trump's actions in Venezuela last weekend. In news that for some reason got little traction, Zapatero emerged as a fundamental piece in a scandal involving Spain's rescue -with public funds- of an airline (Plus Ultra) controlled by a close associate of Delcy Rodriguez (Camilo Ibrahim Issa). Not only was Plus Ultra rescued in odd circumstances considering its size and track record, but it was subsequently used to launder money in various jurisdictions according to Swiss / French criminal probes. An old acquaintance of this site (Danilo Diazgranados), very well versed in money laundering, is also involved.
