Nynas, Derwick & GPB Energy Services mock Treasury sanctions on PDVSA
Going through some of the documents related to reorganisation of Nynas, we found this (see page 6):
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 this site's former editor's full name, and a fake email addresses (alek.boyd.arregui@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.

UPDATED: Alejandro Betancourt & his bank (Banca Credinvest) legal battle with FINMA
UPDATED 29/09/2020 18:48 GMT re Twitter limiting my @infodi0 account - Venezuelan boligarchs are brazen. But none like Alejandro Betancourt, the main thug behind Derwick Associates.
Despite piling criminal probes, Derwick Associates' corruption continues
The WSJ posted yesterday "U.S. Targets Venezuela’s Maduro Regime With Fresh Charges, Sanctions". It's about criminal charges brought by the Justice Department (DoJ) against small time thugs (Leonardo Santilli, Lenny Rangel and Edoardo Orsoni), due to $146.6 million worth of procurement contracts obtained through bribe payments from joint ventures where PDVSA is the largest shareholder. So far, so common.
Switzerland's Federal Courts rule against Derwick / Gazprombank's money laundering
Gotham City reports today that Federal Courts in Switzerland have approved rogatory requests presented by Department of Justice (DoJ), with respect to involvement of Charles Henry de Beaumont, Luis Oberto Anselmi, and Ignacio Oberto Anselmi in a $4.5 billion money laundering scheme centered at PDVSA, first reported on this site in November 2015.
Francisco Convit arrested in Venezuela
This is yet to be confirmed by chavista prosecutors / authorities, but it's been reported that Francisco Convit was arrested in Venezuela.
[UPDATED] Rudy Giuliani: Russian tool
There's this endless debate about Russian interference in U.S. affairs. To one side of the aisle, Trump only got to the White House thanks to meddling of Putin's operatives, while the other is ever so quick to dismiss conflict of interests of too-close-to-Trump folk. Case in point: Trump's very own lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
Was Giuliani talking Naftogaz-Gazprom business with Betancourt?
Here's a working hypothesis: In the framework of Rudy Giuliani's recent visit and stay in Alejandro Betancourt's castle El Alamin, talk about Giuliani's lobbying AG William Barr, the Justice Department and other officials of the Trump administration to get Betancourt off the hook could have been a quid pro quo.
