Spain’s anti-corruption prosecutor’s office requested that he be prosecuted for money laundering, a decision that has yet to be ruled on by Spanish judge Maria Tartan.
During the administration of the former director of PDVSA, Rafael Ramírez (2004-2013), Rafael Reiter Muñoz was detained in Barcelona (Spain) in connection with a corruption scheme that diverted and embezzled millions of dollars from the state oil company.
Infobae reported that the Supreme Court (TSJ) requested his extradition for being responsible for laundering money from corruption through a network in the province of Andorra.
Reiter Muñoz is also under investigation in Spain for the so-called “PDVSA Macro Case” which investigates embezzlement of funds from a scandal at an oil company in Spain.
Spain’s anti-corruption prosecutor’s office requested that he be prosecuted for money laundering, a decision that has yet to be ruled on by Spanish judge Maria Tartan.
Reiter Muñoz was detained in the case in 2017, later released and brought before the court.
Muñoz will be held in Spain, without possible bail, pending his extradition.
Venezuelan lawyers have 40 days to present the evidence needed to justify extradition. After that, the person concerned will file a case in a judicial court that will decide his future. Spain’s justice system has already rejected other similar extradition requests.
The anti-corruption prosecutor’s office in Spain is demanding the prosecution of former PDVSA director Reiter Muñoz and his wife Vanessa Carolina Yessia for allegedly laundering money by paying bribes to contractors. It was used to buy a mansion in Barcelona in 2015.
The acquisition was made with illegal profits invested in a condominium in Miami, originally with bribes from businessmen Roberto Enrique Rincon and Abraham Shira, both PDVSA contractors.
In addition, he is listed as the founder of three companies in Spain “without verification of any activity”.
