Read it:
Venezuela, 1983 to 2026: a state that controlled every dollar in the country sold dollars cheaply to the people it chose, and the door to its oil money was sold again and again — as currency, bonds, contracts, food, crude and gold. Two of Hugo Chávez's own attendants ran the national treasury and were later sentenced in Florida; a food trader exposed by exiled reporters pleaded guilty in Miami; a prison gang built a business behind walls with a zoo; and the money landed in Coral Gables, Andorra and Switzerland. Covers Alejandro Andrade and Claudia Díaz and the National Treasury, Raúl Gorrín and Globovisión, Alex Saab and the CLAP food program, PDVSA and Banca Privada d'Andorra, and Héctor Guerrero and the Tren de Aragua.
