| 2010-11-26 |
| [El Universal] Luis Pulido, the former president of state-run food distribution network Procesadora y Distribuidora Venezolana de Alimentos (Pdval), and former Pdval managers Ronald Flores and Vilyeska Betancourt will be indicted for the loss of 32,000 tons of imported food in Puerto Cabello port (state of Carabobo) that were purchased by the former subsidiary of state-run oil company Petróleos de Venezuela (Pdvsa). The decision was announced by the 16th Caracas Control Judge Santos Montero Tovar, after he upheld the charges filed by the Attorney General Office against the former officials for negligence in the care of State assets and embezzlement. The judge also decided that the only three people jugged in this scandal will remain in prison during the trial. |
