From the UN the General Comptroller denounces illegal confiscation of assets of Venezuela by the US

The General Comptroller of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Elvis Amoroso, denounced on Thursday from the Convention on Anticorruption and Recovery of Assets carried out in Vienna by the United Nations (UN), the modality that some countries like the United States have to appropriate the riches of the people and to commit acts of corruption. In the ninth session of that international forum, the also President of the Republican Moral Council, revealed the funds of Venezuela retained, frozen or confiscated by 50 banking institutions in 26 countries, hindering the free trade of the Nation. Likewise, the Comptroller manifested the theft of the Petroleum Corporation Citgo, Venezuela’s leading marketer of gasoline, lubricants and petrochemicals in the United States, and the largest subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA). “We denounce the billions of dollars that are in banks and also the theft of the Citgo company to distribute them to third parties and private parties”, he said. Amoroso said that the States participating in the conference were unaware of these acts of corruption that threaten Venezuela and clarified that this formal denounce seeks to recover the assets belonging to the Venezuelan people to defend sovereignty and curb the economic crisis imposed by the administration of Donald Trump.
