The former president of state-owned Banco Industrial de Venezuela was sanctioned by the U.S. for his role in a $2.4 billion bribery scheme, run through a controversial currency exchange program. The U.S. Treasury Department described him as a financial “front man” for corrupt Venezuelan officials.

He has also been suspected of laundering money on behalf of a Colombian terror group, and was a politically-exposed person (PEP) long before he first opened his accounts.
