This Is the Venezuelan Bank Aldama Used to 'Launder' the Scheme's Money

Víctor de Aldama remains in the eye of the storm. Allegedly, the supposed ringleader of the Koldo scheme used Banesco, a financial entity that was born in Caracas.

Allegedly, according to The Objective, Aldama used this entity to "launder funds from various corrupt schemes." This is reported by the mentioned media outlet.

Reportedly, on Abraham Lincoln Avenue, the hydrocarbon scheme opened several accounts at the main office of a bank. It is one of the most exclusive areas of Santo Domingo. There, Aldama's emissary was supposedly personally attended by the head of Corporate Banking.

Aldama's Offer to the Prosecutor's Office

The imprisonment of businessman Víctor de Aldama was news that resonated throughout Spain. The commissioner's closeness to high-ranking government officials made the news much more controversial, however, after a few weeks, Aldama gained his freedom. It is important to emphasize that on that same day he launched a powerful jab at the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, but how could Víctor de Aldama get out of jail so quickly?

According to the information revealed, in a private meeting, an agreement was reached between the anti-corruption prosecutor Alejandro Luzón, the lawyer José Antonio Choclán. A high-ranking official of the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard was also present. According to the information published by The Objective, the pact would allow Aldama's collaboration with Justice in exchange for his release.

The businessman's lawyer appeared before the Prosecutor's Office to express his client's willingness to provide relevant documentation about an alleged corruption network. This scheme, according to investigations, would involve high-ranking officials of Pedro Sánchez's government and would be related to the collection of illegal commissions in exchange for public contracts.

Allegedly, the meeting took place at the headquarters of the Special Prosecutor's Office Against Corruption and Organized Crime, on Manuel Silvela Street in Madrid. During the meeting, Choclán requested an agreement that would allow Aldama's release from prison. He had been in Soto del Real since October for his alleged involvement in a fraud linked to the hydrocarbon sector.

This prior understanding was crucial for the subsequent statement of the businessman before the justice system, in which he would have self-incriminated in certain episodes related to the mask scheme.
