General Comptrollership: José Enrique Luongo Arrested at Airport when
Trying to Flee to U.S


December 03rd, - This Saturday, José Enrique Luongo was arrested at
the Maiquetía International Airport, the General Attorney of the
Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela reported through his Twitter account.
Luongo would be presumably linked in the case of the legitimation of
capital of the Banca de Andorra Banking with Diego Salazar Carreño,
cousin of Rafael Ramírez. Luongo was arrested when he tried to leave
the country and board a flight that would take him to the United
States.

Luongo would have made transfers, through a private business, to
Panama instrumental entities linked to Salazar for an amount exceeding
192 million dollars.
Salazar Carreño, cousin to the former president of PDVSA Rafael
Ramírez Carreño, was arrested for incurring the legitimacy of capital
in Andorra, the General Attorney of the Republic, Tarek William Saab,
confirmed last Friday. Apparently, Salazar is being held at the
headquarters of the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (Sebín).
Among other issues, he is accused of being responsible for the
insurance and reinsurance of the oil company during the ten years in
which Ramírez, his first cousin, was at the head of the PDVSA
presidency. He has also been linked to the multimillion-dollar
financial transactions carried out by the administration of Rafael
Ramírez with the exchange differential, from which a group of
operators close to the government, including entrepreneurs in the
electricity and media sectors, have benefited. .
In December 2012, following a judicial blocking order, Andorra BPA
Private Banking froze one of Diego Salazar's accounts. The research
began in the US, jointly with the FBI, prosecutors from Miami and New
York. The funds had been tracked from Belize and Panama briefcase
accounts.
