The president of the National Constituent Assembly (ANC), Diosdado Cabello, said Wednesday feel "hurt" by the revelations of the extesorero Alejandro & El Tuerto & # 39; Andrade, also accusing him of "betraying" Hugo Chavez.
In his show "Con el Mazo Dando", Cabello said that all "chavistas" were "wounded" for statements made by the former bodyguard of the deceased president, in which he claimed to receive more than a billion dollars in bribes, he however put the party in power away from any corruption.
A Florida judge sentenced Andrade to 10 on Tuesday, his maximum jail sentence. He admitted to receiving goods, Mercedez Benz vehicles and horses in connection with illicit foreign currency transactions involving Raúl Gorrín, president of Globovisión, now accused in US courts.
"It hurts us personally, of course", said the first vice-president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), accusing Andrade of "betray" the ideals of Chavez. "But I repeat: to be chavis, we must fight against corruption and not be corrupted."
Andrade, who lives in Florida, must go to the US prison before February 25. Last week, the ANC-appointed Attorney General, Tarek Saab, requested his extradition from the United States.
US federal prosecutors are trying to crack down on the use of their financial system to launder the proceeds of widespread corruption in Venezuela.
Since 2003, the exchange control system has sold heavily subsidized dollars through national currency agencies or government auctions. But the dollars on the black market have at least doubled and sometimes 10 times more, allowing well-connected people to buy dollars at a reduced price and resell them wisely.
