How did the parallel dollar manipulators in Venezuela operate who have been detained?

Following the dismantling of the network of financial terrorism dedicated to establishing exchange rates based on currencies at a value parallel to that set by the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV), the modus operandi of this criminal group has been revealed.

The portal Extra News Mundo reiterated that these structures that marked the illegal dollar operated without authorization from the State or supervision from entities such as the BCV and the Superintendency of Banks.

According to the cited media, these structures offered currency exchange services, receipt of remittances, and payments in cryptocurrencies.

“They marked false indicators to control the illicit currency market, illegally capture remittances, and also sell advertising in the digital media of similar businesses,” it reported.

Extra News Mundo highlighted that these structures “claimed to be in Cúcuta, to capture the remittances that entered the country illegally and did not pay taxes to the State entities, committing the crime of money laundering, treason to the homeland, misleading offers, and undue capture.”

So far, 25 people have been detained.
