INFODIO began operations in late July 2013. Since then, it has been visited 779,426 times. Research and articles published on INFODIO have yielded extraordinary results. Here are some examples:
– Articles about corruption in Ecuador and the environment of Rafael Correa significantly contributed to exposing Camilo Samán – who recently resigned as president of the National Financial Commission – Fernando Mantilla – who also stepped down as president of Deportivo Quito – and Antonio Elizalde Pulley.
– INFODIO exclusively published documents about Israeli espionage systems acquired by the Rafael Correa regime in Ecuador to spy on citizens, while presenting itself to the world as a protector of Edward Snowden.
– As part of the “Who is…?” series, INFODIO has published numerous investigations into individuals whose criminal activities have gone unnoticed.
– Similarly, we have published investigations into international companies – some of them state-owned, like Bundesdruckerei – involved in corruption cases.
Perhaps the greatest contribution of this website has been exposing some instances of rampant corruption in Venezuela (Derwick Associates, Alex Saab, Global Construction Fund, Tareck el Aissami, RaFa Nuñez, Victor Vargas, Ramon Jose Medina, Pedro Carreño, Cadena Capriles, Pastor Maldonado, PDVSA, Rafael Ramirez, CVG, Glencore, Palmat, El Nacional, FTI Consulting, JP Morgan, David Osio and his employees and bank, Enrique Pescarmona and IMPSA, Salvador Lairet, Andres Kauffmann, Luis Oberto, Alejandro Isturiz, Miguel Mawad, Fernando Lauria, Crowdflower…)
INFODIO has become a reference point, not only for interested Venezuelans but also for authorities worldwide monitoring politicians and so-called businessmen who have become millionaires in recent years in Venezuela due to corruption, and who are laundering their ill-gotten fortunes with the help of banks and financial systems from the first world. U.S. Federal Agencies and similar institutions from several European countries frequently visit us and use information from this website in their investigations. We know this.
We wrap up this year with a promise to continue investigating and publishing topics of interest, and we urge all our readers to contribute to this effort by donating generously.
