The businessman is receiving money from bribes to the deputies.
The Venezuelan is being investigated and persecuted by the official security department ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and by the FBI.
The other investigated for the exact cause is Gianfranco Napolitano.
After numerous sentences by the Supreme Court of Justice, both are linked to dishonest work as figureheads of the political money operation of deputy Luis Parra.
Who is Tulio Capriles Mendoza?
The businessman comes from a family that has owned newspapers and television channels in Venezuela, mainly in the state of Aragua.
Tulio Capriles Mendoza is the current director of El Siglo and CEO of Capriles Media.
He has been linked to politics from a young age, being the vice minister of Venezuela's Public Information of Venezuela under Hugo Chávez.
His function was based on searching for information about President Chávez, coming from Chavista opponents.
Known as 'Guillotina Tulio,' he was in charge of spreading positive propaganda, on television, about the president.
At the beginning of 2000, Tulio Capriles Mendoza had 27 newspapers distributed throughout Venezuela.
But, his true story is surrounded by corruption, money laundering, and drug trafficking.
The medical equipment supply companies of Tulio Capriles

In Madrid, the irregularities of the Venezuelan have drawn the attention of the Spanish intelligence authorities, given the link with the Chavista oil minister, Tareck El Aissami.
The death of Edward Velasquez Fernandez
In this matter, hypotheses have emerged about a possible link between these transactions and the kidnapping in Caracas of businessman Edward Velásquez Fernández, who was found dead in 2020.
Velásquez served as a medical equipment supplier for the Venezuelan Institute of Social Security (IVSS) through Blandon Corp and MedBioSuplies SL, with offices in Madrid, Caracas, and Miami.
A person familiar with the matter has said that Velásquez may have represented intense competition for Tulio Capriles Mendoza at some point in that market.

'Gordelio' was accused of collecting a $5 million bribe from Anzoatiguense.

The abuse of power by Tulio Capriles Mendoza and Didalco Bolívar
In 2007, one of the most significant causes of the abuse of power was experienced in Aragua.
The outlet, El Siglo, was assaulted by 100 officers of the Aragua Police.
In command of this "operation" was Didalco Bolívar, who wanted revenge on the newspaper that criticized his management.
An ally of his was Tulio Capriles Mendoza, heir to the media outlet and opponent of the national government, who has tried to maintain a neutral line but secretly organized campaigns for opposition candidates due to this legal situation.
