Juan Guaido ‘funding bid for Venezuelan gold with stolen Venezuelan assets’
Juan Guaido
VENEZUELAN pretender Juan Guaido is paying for his legal fight to access over £1 billion in state gold reserves with money also looted from the Venezuelan people, the Canary website has revealed.
Mr Guaido, who declared himself president of Venezuela early in 2019 despite never having stood in a presidential election, is fighting for access to Venezuelan gold reserves held in the Bank of England.
Yet court documents show that his legal fight is itself being paid for with funds from illegally confiscated assets of the Central Bank of Venezuela in the United States.
