Arrests Confiscations and Civic-Military Commands

The owners of the Farmatodo chain of 167 shops in Venezuela were remanded in custody to await trial at the request of the Attorney General’s Office. The Executive President and Vice-President of Operations, Pedro Luis Angarita Azpurua and Agustin Antonio Álvarez Costa are accused of boycott and destabilizing the economy – both crimes are included in the Law on Fair Prices.

Breaking News – President Maduro stated on the afternoon of February 6 that Farmatodo must regularize its operation immediately or he will be obliged to “take other decisions” – which could mean confiscation of the company. The heat is on for the capitalist speculators and this will serve as a message to other companies participating in the economic war.

Before these two Farmatodo criminals were arrested, the rumor on the street was that the Farmatodo chain really belonged to the President of the National Assembly, Diosdado Cabello, who is the second most powerful politician in the country after President Maduro. In fact, for many years rumors have been rife about Cabello owning a huge business empire with millions of dollars stashed offshore or in the US.

No evidence has ever been presented to substantiate these wild claims and several court cases brought against Cabello in the past failed to succeed due to lack of evidence. However, the owners of Farmatodo let these rumors run until they had their day in front of the judge when the truth about the ownership of the 167 shops was revealed.

In an almost poetic twist to scotch such rumors about his “business empire”, Cabello authorized the workers at businesses that were rumored to be his to take control of them if the bourgeoisie did not admit who were the real owners.
