The importation of gasoline is only one aspect of the entire corruption plot within the Venezuelan oil industry.
Recently there was news in the press where it was shown in a video, how they transferred fuel offshore from a Venezuelan-flagged ship.
Selling gold reserves looks like a great option. Unfortunately, the levels of corruption indicate that a large part of these resources would be misappropriated.
Corruption is such a horrible evil, when the country really needs help and support, those with power dig in deeper. I hope one day you get a government that truly gives power to the people and supports the people.
You nailed it!
This is the reality of Venezuela.
Exemplary punishment is necessary.
