Venezuela's Political Disaster - August 11, 2007

Dear Journalists,

Outrageous corruption has hit the fan in Venezuela, and is out in the open for every one to see with the capture of a Chavez's supporter by Argentinean police transporting US$800.000 in cash in his brief case.

Please know that when Chavez learnt about his supporter being caught with the huge amount of U.S. dollars in Buenos Aires immediately cursed and blamed the media as reported by Globovision:

Argentinean press reports that the infamous supporter had traveled twelve times to Buenos Aires from Venezuela in the last year:

Just do the math 800,000 x 12 = 960,000,000 ? humm

Venezuelan Journalist Rodolfo Schmidt writes in his article "El maletínazo" y los Medios published in Libertad Plena that "bagmen" take off from Ramp 4 of the Maiquetia airport without going through customs, nor government controls Cadivi "bagmen", que reparten -y recogen- maletines llenos de efectivo, salen de la Rampa 4 (la sólo "presidencial" de Maiquetía) al mundo, sin aduana, registro, control, Cadivi, sin Ley contra los ilícitos cambiarios….

Venezuelan Journalists Marianella Salazar and Tulio Álvarez reported on the radio that it was actually a Venezuelan National Guard who was carrying the big bucks as reported by the link below:

In the 1980's Venezuelans could buy one dollar with 4,30 bolivares, under Chavez's abusive regime the exchange rate is approximately 4,200 bolivares for one dollar. Thus, destroying business transactions from honest Venezuelan citizens and damaging the quality of life each day. You can see how Chavez and supporters live!

Venezuelans need international justice systems to implement laws including action against Chavez's abuse of power, and corruption.

Cordially,
