Venezuela's Corruption Exposed

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.

End of year message

2013 has been a good year. INFODIO was launched at the end of July, and has managed to get 779,426 page views thus far, positioning itself as the prime source in exposing corruption in Venezuela. While it would be foolish to claim that the site covers it all, it is not a stretch saying that it has contributed significantly to shed light on some issues that would have gone unnoticed otherwise.

We have noticed an increase in visits from Federal Agencies and similar institutions across Europe. We can claim that some of the stuff published is being used in investigations, which will hopefully lead to prosecutions and bring those responsible to justice.

2014 promises to be even better, as a serious attempt at expanding the site's scope will be made (focus will be Latin America and the interplay between its dodgy operators and developed nations). For this effort to materialise INFODIO is counting on readers' generosity, while we are extremely grateful for all donations -whether large or small. We promise total confidentiality in this respect.
