corruption and money laundering
As collected by various media, including Fortuneteller, Tulio Capriles Mendoza is in the
center of attention throughout Venezuela and the rest of the world.
The businessman is receiving money from bribes to the deputies.
The Venezuelan is being investigated and persecuted by the official security department
ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and by the FBI.

work as figureheads of the political money operation of deputy Luis Parra.
Who is Tulio Capriles Mendoza?
The businessman comes from a family that has owned newspapers and television channels
in Venezuela, mainly in the state of Aragua.
Tulio Capriles Mendoza is the current director of El Siglo and CEO of Capriles Media.

2. He has been linked to politics from a young age, being the vice minister of Venezuela's
Public Information of Venezuela under Hugo Chávez.
His function was based on searching for information about President Chávez, coming from
Chavista opponents.
Known as 'Guillotina Tulio,' he was in charge of spreading positive propaganda, on
television, about the president.
At the beginning of 2000, Tulio Capriles Mendoza had 27 newspapers distributed
throughout Venezuela.
But, his true story is surrounded by corruption, money laundering, and drug trafficking.
The medical equipment supply companies of Tulio
Capriles
The Insurance and Banking medium publishes the investigation, by Spain, into the
businessman Tulio Capriles Mendoza.
In Madrid, the irregularities of the Venezuelan have drawn the attention of the Spanish
intelligence authorities, given the link with the Chavista oil minister, Tareck El Aissami.
The death of Edward Velasquez Fernandez
In this matter, hypotheses have emerged about a possible link between these transactions
and the kidnapping in Caracas of businessman Edward Velásquez Fernández, who was
found dead in 2020.
Velásquez served as a medical equipment supplier for the Venezuelan Institute of Social
Security (IVSS) through Blandon Corp and MedBioSuplies SL, with offices in Madrid,
Caracas, and Miami.
A person familiar with the matter has said that Velásquez may have represented intense
competition for Tulio Capriles Mendoza at some point in that market.

States federal authorities
According to Arsene Venezuela, Tulio Capriles Mendoza has been singled out for being
involved in cases of embezzlement, fraud, attacks on El Siglo workers, squandering
inheritances, violent crimes, money laundering, etc.

his companies to directly link with the appropriation of approved resources for public works
purposes in Yaracuy.
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.

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.
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.
