The cases of corruption that plague Spain are filling the bases of the PSOE and are increasingly filling with a strong smell of 21st Century Socialism. Well, the links between Pedro Sánchez officials and corrupt businessmen in Venezuela are becoming more and more evident.
Not only is it the Koldo case that involves Pedro Sánchez’s wife for influence peddling, but it also warns that the PSOE would be receiving improper money from corrupt Venezuelan businessmen close to Nicolás Maduro. The corruption plot begins with Víctor de Aldama.
Aldama managed in Spain with 180 million euros that he could not justify according to OK Diario and is presumed to be part of the laundering money handled by the Chavista government of Nicolás Maduro in transactions directly to Madrid.
According to recent revelations in the Iberian press, Pedro Sánchez arranged a series of illicit businesses through Venezuelan businessmen of dubious origin. Well, former minister José Luis Ábalos used three Chavista millionaires as guarantors of a property in Caracas whose origins are unknown: these are Henrique Rodríguez Guillén, Diana Katherine Cortés and Rafael Alfredo Chirino.
On the other hand, Rodríguez Guillén is president of the company Suelopetrol, the Venezuelan company that participated in buying a chalet for Ábalos. Well, Suelopetrol is an aesthetic partner of PDVSA. The bribe would be made on March 1, 2021.
The socialist Government, headed by Pedro Sánchez, made negotiations with Claudio Rivas, a partner of the also Venezuelan Aldama who in turn made contact with Ábalos, and has a 40% stake in Petrocabimas in the state of Zulia. Rivas ended up in prison.
The Venezuelans sought with Sánchez a license to export hydrocarbons to Spain from Venezuela without paying VAT, in exchange the Venezuelan oil companies paid large amounts of money to the Spanish socialist government.
Aldama was the one who contacted officials from Pedro Sánchez’s Government with those from Nicolás Maduro’s office to have direct contacts and business. Many of them, like Alfredo Chirino, linked to the illicit trade in gold and diamonds.
Chirino was director of the office of the National Assembly of Venezuela in 2016 and today is close to Maduro.
Many of these Venezuelans, according to OK Diario, have front companies in expensive and exclusive places in Madrid such as the Business Center on Juan Bravo Street.
