Cómo los bancos ayudaron a los “Boliburgueses” venezolanos a sacar fortunas del país

Nueva investigación #FinCENFiles con @Pmarcano11 @TamoaC @KevinGHall y otros mas muestra cómo miles de millones de dólares de recursos públicos se esfumaron de Venezuela

infobae.com/america/venezu…
Los #FInCENFiles revelan 4 mil 800 millones de dólares en transacciones sospechosas relacionadas con Venezuela. Casi 70% de este monto involucró recursos públicos Image
Bancos en Europa y los EEUU facilitaron la sustracción del dinero de Venezuela, a pesar de las alertas que señalaban irregularidades financieras.

Entre las transacciones que procesaron eran millones de dolares en pagos relacionados con Derwick Associates y sus ejecutivos Image
“Ninguno de los bancos investigó suficiente sobre eso,” nos dijo @MundarayZair, ex-fiscal anticorrupción en Venezuela.

“Porque realmente lo que pasaba era el saqueo de un país.”

La nota también revela como Alejandro Ceballos Jimenez, un magnate de la construcción con conexiones gubernamentales, envió secretamente al menos 116 millones de dólares de contratos de vivienda pública a beneficiarios que incluyen miembros de su familia

Entre las entidades publicas que contrataron a Ceballos? La Misión Che Guevara.

Los pagos a las empresas de Ceballos fueron enviados a una empresa offshore creado por abogados suizos con antecedentes de lavado de dinero, según el reporte del banco:

NEW: Banks have poured $286 billion in a lax form of green loans into polluting industries like fossil fuels and mining.

Our investigation with @TorontoStar & @MSTODAYnews, published with @APNews & supported by @Rainforest_RIN
theexamination.org/articles/how-m…
Sustainability-linked loans - or SLLs - offer lower interest rates to corporations that promise to protect the environment

But they’re almost entirely opaque: companies don’t have to disclose their sustainability targets, financial terms, or the penalties for falling short
Drax, a UK-based wood bioenergy company, has gotten more than $700M in SLLs amid years of pollution violations in the Deep South.

NEW: The food industry is capitalizing on the anti-diet movement, a social media juggernaut that often disputes the health risks linked to obesity

Our @examinationnews investigation in partnership with @washingtonpost
theexamination.org/articles/as-ob…
Cereal giant General Mills is leading the way.

The company is funding research on “food shaming,” using anti-diet arguments to fight federal regulation, and showering giveaways on influencers who tout its cereals with the slogan #DerailtheShame
washingtonpost.com/wellness/2024/…
The anti-diet movement began as an effort to combat weight bias and disordered eating.

But now, most dietitian influencers who use anti-diet language on social media are also paid to promote products by the food industry, our analysis found

NEW: The multi-billion dollar food industry is shaping the eating habits of a new generation by paying dietitians to push products and messages on social media.

Our investigation for the launch of @examinationnews, in partnership with @washingtonpost
theexamination.org/articles/the-f…
Dietitians are trusted health professionals.

But industry has paid dietitian influencers for posts encouraging viewers to eat more sugar & candy, or use unproven supplements - messages that run counter to decades of scientific evidence
washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/…
Other sponsored posts dismissed warnings from health authorities like the WHO.

In a campaign by a soda industry trade group, dietitians said WHO findings on aspartame - including that it is “possibly carcinogenic” - were “fear mongering” and “clickbait”

More than 100 world leaders are pledging at #COP26 to end deforestation by 2030.

It’s a bold promise, but one that so far doesn’t address a crucial element of the threat to forests exposed in our @OCCRP investigation yesterday: state corruption (thread)
occrp.org/en/investigati…
First, the good news: leaders of countries representing 85% of forests are promising action, backed by more than $19 billion in funding

That includes Brazil, Indonesia and the DRC, which are home to most of the world’s rainforests
bbc.com/news/science-e…
The bad news is that we’ve seen this movie before – and a similar agreement in 2014 turned out to be nothing but hot air.

That’s why @Greenpeace is slamming the deal as a “green light for another decade of forest destruction”

NEW: Nicaragua is losing its forests faster than any other country in the world – an ecological disaster fueled by corruption in its forestry agency & enabled by the ruling Ortega family

A thread on our @OCCRP investigation w @MiamiHerald @mongabay & more
occrp.org/en/investigati…
First, some background:

If you've read about Nicaragua this year, it's probably about how dictator Daniel Ortega is violently crushing opposition ahead of this week's election.

@60Minutes gave an overview last night:
cbsnews.com/news/nicaragua…
We found that the Ortega regime is also enabling an ecological crisis with far-reaching implications for the global climate.

Our interactive offers a guide to how Nicaragua is destroying its forests at the world's fastest rate

More fallout from #ParadisePapers: a 150+ page report from the Commerce Dept inspector general reveals it investigated Wilbur Ross for years after the project's revelations in Nov 2017.

It found that he breached federal ethics rules in several ways...

oig.doc.gov/OIGPublication…
The findings include glaring omissions in his financial disclosures.

Our story below for @ICIJorg found that Ross retained a stake in Navigator Holdings, a shipping company that did business w Putin cronies, through a chain of offshore entities.

icij.org/investigations…
The inspector general found that Ross also held more than 16,000 direct shares in Navigator that he completely omitted from his financial disclosures when he took office. Image
