The District Attorney for the National District, Yeni Berenice Reynoso says that she has opened an investigation aimed at establishing whether the top Banco Peravia executives are implicated in companies on the “Panama Papers” list.
Reynoso told Diario Libre that her office, together with the Attorney General, is investigating whether Jose Luis Santoro and Gabriel Jimenez Aray have any offshore businesses in Panama. She told reporters: “The District Attorney is investigating together with the Attorney General only the aspects related to the defendants in this process, in this specific case the Venezuelans, in order to see if they had any companies in this tax haven. We are looking into this.”
She said that they were awaiting reports being sent to the AG from Panama. The District Attorney was speaking yesterday, Wednesday 11 May 2016, as she left the Court of Instruction that is reviewing the course of measures against Nelson Serret, Jorge Serret, Yesenia Serret and Donato Pausides Morales Rodriguez, who are being held in prison because of the collapse of Banco Peravia.
