Caracas .- Citgo Petroleum Corp., a US subsidiary of the Venezuelan oil company Pdvsa, reported Wednesday that the United States has revoked the visa of its director and executive chairman, Asdrúbal Chávez, cousin of the late President Hugo Chávez. According to the international press service, State Department spokesman Noel Clay said the country had broad authority to revoke visas, but that it did not discuss individual cases as they are confidential under US law.

The executive director replaced José Pereira, having been arrested last November for requesting a refinancing of the company's debt, without the authorization of the government, according to the Venezuelan prosecutor's office, . Union Radio.

Chávez will remain in office and the measure affects neither the executive line of the company nor its daily operations, the company said in a brief statement, although the manager must leave the US territory in a maximum delay 30 days
