Venezuela leader may have millions in Baidilda Fund run by native Kazakhstani: Bloomberg

AKIPRESS.COM - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro may hold millions of dollars of state money in accounts managed by Fund Nurlan Baidilda Ltd., Bloombergreports citing the opposition.

The National Assembly found the assets in an investigation that began last year and is trying to recover them, Carlos Vecchio, a member of the opposition, said by phone. Vecchio is serving as Charge d’ Affaires to the U.S. for Juan Guaido, the head of the national assembly who declared himself president on Jan. 23.

Nurlan Baidilda Ltd manages investments for wealthy individuals and is owned by a Russian citizen originally from Kazakhstan, Vecchio said. He declined to provide details and said they are trying to seize the assets.  There is very little information about Nurlan Baidilda Ltd. online.

Venezuela´s interim government is reviewing Maduro´s financial dealings to figure out the ultimate destination of money “stolen” and “looted” from the nation, according to Vecchio. “No public official can justify these amounts of money, not even after being born 1,000 times,” he said referring to the millions of U.S. dollars taken from Venezuela and believed to be at this fund, stopping short of providing an specific amount.

Vecchio´s revelations comes after a failed attempt to deliver humanitarian aid to the hungry nation led to a weekend of violence on the Colombian-Venezuelan border. President Nicolas Maduro’s security forces repelled the food and medicine, saying the initiative was a pretext for invasion.
