Colonel Marino Lugo, a person of interest in the corruption scandal involving Venezuela’s state oil company PDVSA, was found dead in his cell. The authorities suspect that he may have taken his own life, but an autopsy is being performed to determine the exact cause of death.
Lugo was one of more than 54 individuals arrested in connection with the PDVSA-Crypto case, which has led to significant upheaval in Venezuela’s political and economic landscape. He faced charges of embezzlement, money laundering, and conspiracy.
The Venezuelan government has been actively cracking down on corruption, with President Nicolas Maduro announcing new arrests in connection with the ongoing investigation. However, previous arrests have been marred by tragedy, with two detainees dying – one due to suicide and the other due to illness.
The investigation into this corruption scandal continues, and authorities are working tirelessly to bring those involved to justice. As they do so, they must also address the broader challenges facing Venezuela, including economic instability and political unrest.
