🇻🇪🇬🇧 British police arrest Venezuelan businessman Alejandro Betancourt in Pdvsa case

Venezuelan businessman Alejandro Betancourt, founder of the energy company Derwick, was arrested by British police in London by order of the National Court and the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office of Spain, according to sources from El Pitazo.

Betancourt, who is being investigated for a corruption scheme that aimed to extract $1.2 billion from Petróleos de Venezuela, was released hours after the arrest and after paying bail.

Betancourt is one of the alleged individuals involved in the Money Flight case being handled by a federal court in Miami for money laundering linked to Pdvsa, in which the stepsons of the ruler Nicolás Maduro are also being investigated.

⚠️🇬🇧🇻🇪 Alejandro Betancourt, "bolichico" linked to corruption scheme, released on bail

Venezuelan businessman Alejandro Betancourt López, known as one of the "bolichicos," was released on bail. He was arrested on Thursday, September 18, in London, United Kingdom, at the request of the Central Court of Instruction No. 5 of the National Court of Spain.

"Leopoldo Alejandro Betancourt López, known as the 'BOLICHICO,' was arrested in London by order of a Spanish court and released on bail. His fortune was amassed at a very young age through Derwick Associates, securing 12 power plant contracts in less than 14 months, despite having no background in civil works," reported the NGO Transparencia Venezuela on its official account on the social network X.

The NGO detailed that the impunity of the "bolichico" Betancourt López "lasted for years: Case in Venezuela closed in 2015 due to 'lack of evidence,' and lawsuits in the U.S. dismissed on technicalities. The irony is complete: He was not charged in Venezuela and in April 2024 obtained an 'open letter' from PDVSA to market crude oil. Now, Spain arrests him over luxury properties."
