CARACAS - At least 38 workers from Venezuela’s state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela’s, including the president of maritime subsidiary PDV Marina, were detained on accusations of trafficking fuel, Venezuelan Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said on Saturday, describing the accusations as “treason.”
On Friday, the president of PDV Marina, Oswaldo Vargas, was escorted without handcuffs from the Caracas headquarters of the country’s maritime authority, the INEA, by agents from Venezuela’s military intelligence agency DGCIM, six sources confirmed to Reuters. “This is not simply an act of diverting fuel, it is also an act of treason because people are lining up at service stations for fuel because of U.S. empire’s sanctions,” Reverol added.“We had been denouncing that Oswaldo Vargas used oil tankers for fuel trafficking,” Eudis Girot, one of the executives of the country’s oil workers federation, told Reuters.
