After some statements by witness Nadieska Álvarez about three companies of Ángel Rondón, where she explained that the Lashan company had “structured movements”, the Los Angeles Exchange Agency, also owned by the accused, was awarded two checks from construction company Odebrecht “on behalf of other companies”.
Ángel Rondón and his lawyer, José Miguel Minier, replied that the prosecution had to question their accounting expert, claiming that there is no check in any of the reports to be paid to any of the defendants.
“She has never said, nor has the Ministry asked, whether a check will appear in the name of Andrés Bautista, of the Rondón companies or of Rondón personally, in these transactions,” said José Miguel Minier when asked about the statements of the witness. .
Rondón said the proceedings that Nadieska Álvarez is talking about are normal business activities.
Defense of Andrés Bautista
Other defendants, Andrés Bautista, also said yesterday that the witness is referring to the report prepared by the prosecution to state the accusation of $ 92 million allegedly paid as bribes to officials and lawmakers.
And he said this report is taking over the Bautista farm accounts, which is an accumulation of 17 years to make “an economic lump” and say it comes from bribes.
Other statements by the witness
Nadieska Álvarez also spoke of the fact that “some family members” of Jesús-Chu-Vázquez, the current Minister of the Interior and Police; and Juan Roberto Rodríguez, the former director of the National Institute of Drinking Water and Sewage (Inapa), received checks from ARMA, one of the companies owned by Ángel Rondón.
