The history of the Capriles Mendoza family with drug
trafficking
Manases Capriles, brother of Tulio Capriles Mendoza, has also been
linked to drug trafficking and money laundering activities.
Manases Capriles was identified as the author of the murder of his
wife, Lorena Márquez when she threatened to report him to the police for
participating in said irregularities related to drug trafficking.

3. As reported by El Tiempo in his 1991 article, Tulio Capriles Mendoza
was aware of this alleged murder since the revelation of the activities
also affected him.
The suspicions of Lorena Márquez
According to the first versions, Lorena Márquez told her mother, days
before her death, that she had seen shipments of cocaine in the hands
of her husband on several occasions.
And, aware of this situation was her brothers-in-law Manuel and Tulio
Capriles Mendoza.
His wife had threatened to report him to the authorities for drug
trafficking.
Due to requests from his wife, the couple's relationship worsened for
Capriles Mendoza to stop trading and consuming drugs.
Instead, he said that there were millions of dollars involved, according to
Lorena Márquez's stepfather, Andrés Galdo.
Manases Capriles was arrested as the only suspect in the murder of his
wife.
Judicial control of the Capriles Mendoza family
Lorena Márquez's parents asked the court to transfer the case to
Caracas.
According to them and as quoted by El Tiempo, the city of Maracay was
the domain of the corrupt Capriles family, and they had a lot of power
over judicial decisions.

transfer from Maracay to Caracas due to the powerful influence of the
Capriles Mendoza family injustice.
The Colombian media also revealed that the Capriles brothers financed
the campaign of the governor of the state of Aragua, Carlos Tablante, of
the leftist Movement for Socialism (MAS).

5. The abuse of power by Tulio Capriles Mendoza and
Didalco Bolívar
In 2007, one of the most significant causes of the abuse of power was
experienced in Aragua.
The outlet, El Siglo, was assaulted by 100 officers of the Aragua Police.
In command of this "operation" was Didalco Bolívar, who wanted
revenge on the newspaper that criticized his management.
An ally of his was Tulio Capriles Mendoza, heir to the media outlet and
opponent of the national government, who has tried to maintain a neutral
line but secretly organized campaigns for opposition candidates due to
this legal situation.

6. They based his mission on the use of power and corruption to manage
the laws through unscrupulous officials, affecting the interests of third
parties.
The workers denounced arbitrariness and exploitation by Tulio Capriles
Mendoza.
The most complex chapter was experienced with the attack on a
journalist by Tulio Capriles.
Before a labor court, the Venezuelan businessman requested the
dissolution of the journalists' union.
The acts of corruption and money laundering, which began decades
ago, continue today with the association of different political figures.

7. The relationship between Tulio Capriles Mendoza
and Tareck El Aissami
All the media, including Insurance and Banking, echo the investigation,
by Spain, into the Venezuelan businessman Tulio Capriles Mendoza.
In Madrid, the commercial activities of the Venezuelans have drawn the
attention of the Spanish intelligence authorities, given the connection
with the Chavista, Tareck El Aissami.
In 2019, the politician was included in the most wanted list, for drug
trafficking charges, by the United States Immigration and Customs
Enforcement Service (ICE).

8. El Aissami has denied all charges made against him.
Tulio Capriles Mendoza would manage different companies supplying
medical equipment, arousing the interest of Spanish intelligence,
investigating the figure of him as El Aissami's figurehead.
The companies are in charge of exporting medical equipment to
Venezuela.
The conflict between Tulio Capriles Mendoza and
Manuel Capriles
Manuel Capriles arrived at the newspaper to collect all his belongings
when he found Tulio Capriles Mendoza, with 15 bodyguards to keep
him out.
Warned of all this, Manuel Capriles fired a shot into the air and entered
the newsroom.
El Siglo was armed in a stir because the workers did not want the
arrival of Tulio Capriles Mendoza, who was accompanied by the
lawyer Guillermo Luces.
As Luz Clarita reports, phrases such as "Don't leave us alone" or "Do it
for us" could be heard in the corridors.
The conflict between uncle and nephew ended with pushing, insults,
shouting, revolvers and one wounded.
The newspaper Luz Clarita indicates that Tulio Capriles Mendoza said
goodbye to his uncle with the following sentence:
"You saw, uncle, now you are not going to use this newspaper for your
problems and quarrels with Didalco."

whom he also kicked out of El Siglo.

until the arrival of external police agents.
The objective of Tulio Capriles Mendoza
But, what was the objective of Tulio Capriles Mendoza to take the reins
of the newspaper?

interested, not even visiting it.
One of the versions is that Tulio Capriles Mendoza wanted to
revolutionize journalism through the family newspaper.
Another version is the revenge of the widow of Tulio Capriles
Hernández to her husband, through her son: destroy the diary that her
husband loved so much.
Tulio Capriles Mendoza, at the helm of El Siglo
The scammer Tulio Capriles Mendoza based his mission on the use of
power and corruption to manage the laws through unscrupulous officials,
affecting the interests of third parties.
His irregular activities have caused him to be persecuted for corruption,
along with the rest of his associates.
The workers denounced arbitrariness, pressure, and exploitation by
the employer.
Tulio Capriles petitioned a labor court to dissolve the journalists' union.
The court declared without merit the demand to annul the union's
existence, legally formed in 2007.
Despite the attack on a journalist, Tulio Capriles Mendoza continues
to be an influential businessman in the media field.

10. His contact with personalities such as Tareck El Aissami or Juan
Guaidó makes him untouchable for justice.
The different irregularities have not separated him from this sector,
where he dominates part of the media in Venezuela.

singled out for being involved in cases of embezzlement, fraud, attacks
on El Siglo workers, squandering inheritances, violent crimes, money
laundering, etc.
Likewise, he draws attention to his proximity to Didalco Bolívar and
Tareck El Aissami, former governors of the state of Aragua.
The latter was accused of drug trafficking operations by the United
States.

activities sanctioned by the OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control).
The partners of Tulio Capriles Mendoza
Gianfranco Napolitano and Alberto Vollmer are two of the most
important partners of Tulio Capriles Mendoza in his illicit activities.
Gianfranco Napolitano
Tulio Capriles Mendoza has maintained a close relationship with
Gianfranco Napolitano, who went from being a modest businessman to
becoming a media magnate.
In his circle, known as 'Gordelio,' Gianfranco Napolitano owned shares
of Rumbera Network.
His professional career had little history because the Supreme Court of
Justice seized one of his companies to directly link with the appropriation
of approved resources for public works purposes in Yaracuy.

11. Similarly, in 2015, a journalist published a report recounting the dispute
between Gianfranco Napolitano and a young businessman from
Anzoátegui.
'Gordelio' was accused of collecting a $5 million bribe from
Anzoatiguense.
Alberto Vollmer
Capriles Mendoza has also been a partner of Alberto Vollmer, a
beneficiary of the preferential dollars of the disappeared National
Commission for Foreign Exchange Administration (CADIVI).
The three were part of the closest circle of Tareck El Aissami.

persecuted Luis Parra, Tulio Capriles Mendoza, and Gianfranco
Napolitano.

resources.
Therefore, he has already been denounced by environmental groups
and activists for his effects on the environment.
After numerous sentences by the Supreme Court, Tulio Capriles and
Gianfranco Napolitano continue to be linked as figureheads of Luis
Parra.
