Arresting government officials for corruption is rare in Venezuela, a country that rights groups such as Transparency International have described as opaque.
‘s President Nicolas Maduro on Monday, March 20, accepted the resignation of the country’s powerful oil minister following the detention of at least six high level officials amid a corruption probe focused on state-run company PDVSA and the judiciary.
Appearing alongside heavyweights from his cabinet and the ruling party, Maduro added he plans to restructure PDVSA, but did not provide details. The sources also said that at least 20 lower level officials at PDVSA have been arrested in recent days. The sources declined to be named due to fear of retaliation.The arrested officials include Colonel Antonio Perez, a former vice president in charge of supply and trade at PDVSA, and Colonel Samuel Testamarck, general manager of PDVSA’s maritime arm PDV Marina, the sources said.
