DOJ Set to Unveil Corruption Charges in Alejandro Andrade Case Tied to Venezuelan Bank Scandal

A source informed this site that the U.S. Department of Justice will unveil the accusations related to the corruption scheme of Alejandro Andrade during his time as the head of the Venezuelan Treasury Bank. It is alleged that up to nine individuals are involved in the criminal investigation that is about to be disclosed. This dates back to the era of Leonardo González Dellán, extending to the multimillion-dollar schemes involving Raúl Gorrín. Sources familiar with the case indicated that Gorrín is also an uncharged co-conspirator (No. 7) in the $1.2 billion money laundering scheme orchestrated by Francisco Convit and Matthias Krull. Meanwhile, the celebrated extradition of Claudia Díaz Guillén, linked to Andrade, was approved by Spain’s National Court on October 26. Díaz Guillén remains without a passport and is in pre-trial detention in Madrid. The extradition hearing for her husband Adrián Velásquez is scheduled for November 16.
