Since Donald Trump decided to capture Nicolas Maduro in early 2026, the biggest question has been why was Alejandro Betancourt chosen as the official White House, Department of State and Pentagon partner. This site has obtained Barbados official records that show Betancourt's proxies Andres Navarro Toledo and Michele Marasco were/are the public facing officers of North American Blue Energy Partners Inc (NABEP). The ultimate beneficiary owners remain hidden, however it is almost certain that Betancourt, close relatives and other partners of Derwick Associates have stakes.
NABEP was incorporated in Barbados on 3 April 2024 by Steven Kim Parker, using a residential / rental address at L'HORIZON, GUNSITE ROAD PARISH, ST. MICHAEL, Barbados.
The first NABEP director was Andres Navarro Toledo, a citizen of Spain, allegedly residing at (also residential) AVDA LOS PENASCALES 24, PISO BAJO, TORRELODONES, Madrid.
Navarro Toledo is evidently a trusted associate of Alejandro Betancourt, having had positions not only in NABEP but in Afrika Financial Group and Hawkers.
Hawkers is the firm that hired Ballard Partners to represent Betancourt.
Afrika Financial Group is the new denomination of BDK Financial Group, a Luxembourg-incorporated shell controlled by Betancourt, where Francisco D'Agostino was associated in the past. Current shareholders, executives include:
- Pelayo Cortina Koplowitz,
- Vasco Pinto Machado Duarte,
- Filipe Perestrelo da Camara Riveiro,
- Andres Navarro Toledo,
- Bernard Kouchner,
- Gonzalo Guzman de Frutos Lopez,
- Jaime Garcia Legaz Ponce,
- Felipe Fernandez Atela,
- Ruben Cue Castañedo,
- Alfredo Saen Abad,
- Carlos Cortina Lapique.

Afrika Financial Group is one of Real Madrid's sponsors. Its Afrika Banque in Senegal promotes credit cards using Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior. It has operations in Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Mali and Guinea Conakry.
Navarro Toledo is the director of La Razon media outlet in Spain. The kind of outlet that gets to sit with Teodoro Obiang for propaganda purposes. That same outlet had inside knowledge of Rudy Giuliani's visit to Betancourt's El Alamin castle in the outskirts of Madrid, where an exclusive interview was conducted by Esther Sieteiglesias, at the time with La Razon and who coincidentally was just sitting there.
El Alamin was raided in a joint operation by Spanish, Swiss and U.S. law enforcement in late August 2025. Betancourt managed to escape.
Navarro Toledo ceased to be CEO on 13 January 2026 with appointment of Michele Marasco, an Italian citizen allegedly residing in Panama at 9A, VIP TOWER, CALLE RICARDO ARIAS, Panama City.
Marasco is associated with a UK-registered company called Heli-Fast Limited (company number 12449495).
Leopoldo Enrique Betancourt Catala, a Venezuelan citizen (ID 3178357, DoB 2 Jan 1948) allegedly residing in Monaco, is identified by UK's Companies House as "Persons with significant control" (owning more than 75% of shares) of Heli-Fast. This role started 10 September 2025.
Betancourt Catala is the father of Alejandro Betancourt.
The previous individual identified as having "significant control" of Heli-Fast was Leopoldo Alejandro Betancourt Lopez (aka Alejandro Betancourt), who held the role between 23 April 2024 and 10 September 2026.
On 23 April 2024, Heli-Fast terminated its previous director and appointed Marianne Domaile. On the same day, cessation of Falcon Air Limited as a "person with significant control" was recorded along appointment of Alejandro Betancourt as the new "person with significant control."
Heli-Fast was founded by Dustin Dryden*. Dryden went onto to incorporate Volare Aviation, which rents on behalf of Dubai-based Avionex - FZCO the 2-FAST jet regularly used by Alejandro Betancourt.
Betancourt Catala is associated with another UK-registred company called La Finca de Oxford Management Company Limited (company number 15184930), which described itself in Nature of Business as "Activities of households as employers of domestic personnel."
After his two arrests in the UK in late 2025 and before Trump's NABEP announcement, Betancourt was pretty much under house arrest, commuting via helicopter between his Chelsea and Oxford mansions.
* Dryden used Volare Aviation to extend a £30,000 credit to Reform, Nigel Farage's extreme and completely corrupt political platform.
