In the first part of this series, we detailed how Rafael Ramirez, Asdrubal Chavez, Eulogio del Pino, and Victor Aular Blanco approved on March 6, 2012, during a meeting of the “Executive Committee” of PDVSA, the acceptance of a “loan under the credit line mechanism” amounting to 17,490,000,000 Bolivars from the company Administradora Atlantic 17107 C.A. On March 12, 2012, Victor Aular Blanco and Juan Andrés Wallis Brandt officially signed a contract for this loan from Atlantic to PDVSA. Then, on March 15, 2012, in Caracas, Wallis Brandt signed a Transfer of Rights and Obligations with the company Violet Advisors S.A., according to a transfer document established in Panama and represented in said document by Luis Oberto Anselmi. Atlantic transferred all contractual rights of its loan with PDVSA to Violet for 2,928,360,417 Bolivars, or in other words, Atlantic sold the contract with PDVSA to Violet for slightly less than 17% of the contract’s value. Another way to explain this clearly absurd business is: Luis Oberto paid 2,928,360,417 Bolivars to Wallis Brandt for obtaining the contract with PDVSA. However, the scheme didn’t stop there. On the same day, March 15, 2012, in Caracas, Luis and Ignacio Oberto Anselmi signed ANOTHER “Transfer of Rights and Obligations,” through which Violet Advisors transferred the rights recently acquired from Atlantic to Welka Holdings Limited, a company based in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and also controlled by the Oberto Anselmi brothers, for 750 million dollars. All this was communicated to Victor Aular Blanco / PDVSA on the same days of March 15 and 16, 2012. In the next installment, we will present banking details from EFG, Compagnie Bancaire Helvetique, Banco Espirito Santo, payments, and the relationships of Luis and Ignacio Oberto with Francisco Convit, Pedro Trebbau, and Alejandro Betancourt of Derwick Associates.
