U.S. law enforcement arrested 62-year-old Colombian businessman Alvaro Pulido on suspicion of his involvement in laundering over $2 billion in funds tied to Venezuelan government welfare programs 1. Pulido is accused of collaborating with fellow Colombian businessman Alex Sabol to obtain food and medicine supply contracts from Venezuelan officials through bribery, then overcharging for these services and funneling proceeds through offshore accounts 1. The scheme involved laundering $3.5 million through accounts including those in Florida 1.
Sabol, Pulido's co-conspirator, pleaded guilty to money laundering charges last month 1. The arrest was carried out by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security task force, with the case also involving the U.S. Department of Justice and Drug Enforcement Administration 1. The U.S. government had previously offered a $10 million reward for information leading to Pulido's capture 1.
