Odebrecht \r\nhad no favorites in its support to Venezuela\u2019s government or its opposition. The \r\nBrazilian contractor \u2013which is currently facing the greatest corruption scandal \r\nin Latin America\u2013 funded several of the regional campaigns carried out by \r\nadherents of the government. However, behind the scenes, it secretly did the \r\nsame with leaders of the opposition. Currently, there is access to a list of \r\nnames and it starts with none other than Diosdado Cabello who is second in \r\ncommand and, it is said, could preside the National Constituent Assembly that \r\nthe Bolivarian Revolution intends to establish.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n
In \r\n2008, Odebrecht sponsored Diosdado\u2019s campaign and covered its costs. That was \r\nthe same election that he ended up losing, along with the chance of being \r\nreelected governor of Miranda state. That year, his opponent, Henrique Capriles, \r\nkicked him out of the game and, as for today, it can be stated that Cabello lost \r\neven with the economic support of the Brazilian constructor giant. These claims \r\nare based on the testimony that Odebrecht\u2019s Executive Director in Venezuela, \r\nEuzenando Azevedo, gave to the Brazilian legal authorities and whose evidence \r\nwas leaked for this news story.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t
