In race to loot Venezuela, Henri Falcon wants his pound of flesh
Henri Falcon, aka Henri Falsón or Henri the Fake, is a typical Venezuelan politico: he'll always try the shortest path to next meal.
Message to INFODIO readers: investigative journalism, which is what this site does, takes lots of time and effort. Visiting media looking for a quick run down on Venezuela's gargantuan corruption, pls have the decency to at least cite the source when plagiarising this site's content without attribution (exhibit Reuters here, exhibit Bloomberg here, exhibit OCCRP here). To all readers: do the right thing, the honest thing, support independent investigative journalism. Note added 28/06/2021: impostors are using INFODIO's former editor's full name, and a fake email address (alek.boyd.arregui at gmail.com) to send copyright infringement claims / take down requests to web hosting companies. The attempt is yet another effort paid by corrupt thugs to erase information about their criminal activities. Infodio.com has no issues with other websites / journalists using / posting information published here, so long as the source is properly cited. Note added 12/06/2026: infodio.com has not created mirror websites / domains and remains totally independent and unrelated to others. Beware of websites using our brand.

There's a case currently being disputed in London courts, whereby Wilmer Ruperti is suing Novoship for breach of a settlement agreement. Burford Capital, and its executive Daniel Hall, have been lumped with defendant Novoship for making unlawful use of information -without Novoship's knowledge or consent- obtained in the course of due diligence checks and investigation for which Novoship had retained Hall.
This was done many years ago, 11 November 2013 to be precise, on the back of this site's first ever post on Alex Saab. Back then nobody in Venezuela's media landscape knew of Alex Saab and his drug trafficking partner Alvaro Pulido Vargas, not even serial plagiarists from Armando.info with their cancel culture. Just have a listen. Apologies to the language impaired.
Further to our post yesterday about Tareck el Aissami's orders to further obfuscate trading information from PDVSA's SAP accounting system, this site has obtained the latest SAP summary for the month of June. There is correct correlation between PDVSA's crude lifting line up and SAP, insofar as REPSOL and ENI cargoes are concerned.
