Former Venezuelan energy officials Nervis Villalobos and Javier Alvarado Ochoa denied receiving multi-million dollar bribes from the Spanish company Duro Felguera in exchange for securing a contract to build a thermal power plant. The denials were issued on a Monday in connection with legal proceedings involving former executives of the Spanish firm.
Building upon these denials, former Vice Minister Nervis Villalobos formally requested the nullification of the ongoing judicial case against him and the former Duro Felguera executives in Spain. The legal defense centers on challenging the validity of the proceedings concerning the alleged bribery related to the Venezuelan infrastructure project.
