Breaking news: Odebrecht and Maduro corruption. Venezuela Supreme Court (TSJ) SILENCE

Guaidó: Maduro paid $4 billion to Odebrecht for financing its campaign
March 26, 2018

translated from Spanish

Oleg Kostko / 26 Mar 2018.- The deputy to the National Assembly for the state of Vargas, Juan Guaidó, denounced on Monday that the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, allegedly paid $4 billion to the Brazilian company Odebrecht for financing his electoral campaign for the 2013 elections.

"Up to $4 billion Maduro would have ordered to pay Odebrecht in response to contributions from the Brazilian construction company for its 2013 election campaign," denounced the parliamentarian through his Twitter account.

In another tweet, Guaidó revealed that "today with the statements of Euzenando Azevedo (former director of Odebrecht Venezuela) corroborates what we have previously reported, Nicolás Maduro received payments for his 2013 presidential campaign through binational contracts in which Odebrecht find involved".

"The information taken comes from reports and documents in the investigation surrounding the Odebrecht company, which is involved in major cases of corruption in which the Maduro regime and different governments of Latin America are located," he said.

Also, the deputy said through the social network that "according to the Miami Herald, the documents state that the Nicolás regime is involved, once again, in cases of corruption using the budget of Venezuelans to conduct partisan campaigns" .

"Here is another proof of how the country's wealth is squandered by the government for its own self-interest, while Venezuelans are affected every day by the severe crisis they experience," criticized Guaidó.

Oh, how Maduro (and Chavez before him) used to love to howl about Odebrecht corruption scandal, and how these bribes and kickbacks were tainting their political enemies. Seems the Maduro's couldn't keep their hand out of the cookie jar either. I suppose that $35 million is chump change, considering Chavez daughter Maria Gabriela is worth $4.2 billion. Maduro's response? "Oooh look! A penguin!"

And while the Venezuelan TSJ has ordered the immediate imprisonment of accused corrupt VZ officials in the past without so much as CHARGES... not a peep from the TSJ about Maduro and his filthy little thieving wife Cilia Flores, who is clearly the brains of the two.
