The business
“This network has captured young men of both sexes to place them in the money laundering ring, who have been rewarded with excessive, lavish, illegal and criminal lives,” the prosecutor said.
President Nicolás Maduro confirmed the prosecutor’s version. The Venezuelan official confirmed details about the prostitution ring being used legitimize the capital product of corruption.

In the case of ‘Ely Jeims, she amassed an unusual fortune by being the mistress of Hugbel Roa. In the past, she was dedicated as singer of llanera music in a neighborhood of Puerto Ordaz”, says the source of the Alberto News portal.
“From 2020 he traveled on private planes set up by Roa. He moved to Lecherías (Anzoátegui state) where lives in a villa in Las Villas at the villa of Johanna Torres, another fugitive from the same case. Both were escorted by the Bolivarian National Police,” added the source of the Alberto portal.
Venezuelans wonder why former super minister Tareck El Aissami, the head and main responsible for the corruption case, he was not arrested nor are there any criminal charges against him. And the answer comes from the former Minister of Oil, Rafael Ramírez. In an interview with The national teamhe said his counterpart “nothing will happen to him because He did all the dirty work Maduro needed.”
Ramírez, who is taking refuge in Italy, underlined: “The first thing to say about the anti-corruption operation in Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) is that it is not a crusade against corruption or anything like that, but it is an internal struggle of madurism. What happens is that other powerful groups have pressured Maduro to stop Tareck El Aissami’s group.”
Maduro’s regime claims that PDVSA’s corruption prevents it from paying the salaries of civil servants and teachers who earn just $5 a month. This has generated protests among pensioners and employees of the Administration under the slogan of “If there is to be stolen, there is to be paid.”
