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.

Will Nicolas Maduro go Noriega way?

Persistent rumours about a super indictement against Nicolas Maduro, Cilia Flores, Tareck el Aisami, and Diosdado Cabello are making the rounds. It would be President Trump's administration way of ratcheting up pressure on chavismo, and according to sources could go as far as including Venezuela in the list of States Sponsors of Terrorism along Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria.

Maduro and Cilia's own relatives were caught in drug trafficking, while el Aisami and Diosdado Cabello's track record on the matter points to -at the very least- all heads of leading power factions within chavismo having suspect and quite inexplicable connections to illicit drug trade. For that reason, sources claim even a Noriega-style solution is being considered.

Alleged measures in the works could be announced in early March, to set the stage for Juan Guaido's rally-to-Congress on the 10th. Dept. of Justice and Southern District of New York's prosecutors are allegedly behind the super indictement, which once unsealed could potentially unleash DEA, FBI, CIA, ICE and other Federal Agencies in an all out effort to bring an end to Venezuela's stalemate.
