Alvaro Pulido, a businessman sought by the US for allegedly bribing high-ranking Venezuelan officials, has been apprehended in Venezuela. He was initially indicted in Miami federal court in 2019 and again in 2021, linked to an investigation involving Alex Saab, a former ally of Nicolás Maduro. Pulido is accused of offering bribes to secure profitable state contracts within Venezuela. The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and State Department offered a substantial reward of up to $10 million for information leading to his capture. His arrest marks a significant development in the ongoing US investigation into corruption related to Venezuelan government contracts. The case highlights the continued US pursuit of individuals allegedly involved in illicit activities within Venezuela. Further details are expected as the legal proceedings unfold.
