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 INFODIO's former editor's full name, and a fake email address (alek.boyd.arregui at 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.

Chavismo tras compra de El Universal

Llevo varios días investigando sobre la venta de El Universal a un supuesto grupo español (Epalisticia). Creo poder afirmar, con certeza, que el trío de doctores chimbines relacionados con Epalisticia (Eduardo Lopez de la Osa, Jose Antonio de la Torre, y Jose Luis Basanta Otero) no tienen ni las credenciales, ni los fondos para haber pagado 90 millones de Euros por El Universal.
