Message to INFODIO readers: investigative journalism, which is what this site does, takes lots of time and effort. Visiting media looking for a quick run down on Venezuela's gargantuan corruption, pls have the decency to at least cite the source when plagiarising this site's content without attribution (exhibit Reuters here, exhibit Bloomberg here, exhibit OCCRP here). To all readers: do the right thing, the honest thing, support independent investigative journalism. 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. 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. Note added 12/06/2026: infodio.com has not created mirror websites / domains and remains totally independent and unrelated to others. Beware of websites using our brand.

Alina Habba has been in the news lately for the incredibly expedite way in which she married Turham Mildon, a Turkish "entrepreneur" that had a bunch of "legitimate" businesses in Venezuela.

Alex Saab's longtime partner, German Rubio Salas (aka Alvaro Pulido Vargas), was recently delivered to U.S. justice by Delcy Rodriguez.

There was an oil summit in Caracas this week. A small crowd gathered to see what can be snatched and grabbed in the fire sale of Venezuela's sovereign resources. Power went out, twice, during the event. The biggest oil baron in Venezuelan history, that is the man the State Dept.
