Jay Weaver, December 13, 2019<\/p>\n

Federal agents have seized $250 million from convicted ex-Venezuelan national treasurer Alejandro Andrade, who is serving a 10-year prison sentence for his central role in a $1 billion money-laundering scheme that allowed him to hide a fortune in overseas banks as well as luxury real estate in South Florida.<\/p>\n

Officials with Homeland Security Investigations in Miami on Thursday disclosed the seizure, which was carried out in recent weeks as part of a $1 billion forfeiture against the former top official in the socialist government of the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. The funds will be kept by the U.S. government.<\/p>\n

Over the past year, HSI agents had seized about $50 million from Andrade, including overseas bank accounts, an equestrian farm in the exclusive Wellington area of Palm Beach County, 14 prized show-jumping horses, and a fleet of luxury cars, such as a 2015 Bentley Continental Convertible. The horses, with names like Bonjovi, Hardrock Z and Tinker Bell, were imported from various parts of Europe, court records show.<\/p>\n

In an interview Thursday, HSI\u2019s special agent in charge, Anthony Salisbury, called Andrade\u2019s theft a \u201csignificant fleecing of a foreign nation\u201d \u2014 indicative of billions of dollars that have been stolen from the Venezuelan government by politically connected kleptocrats and former senior officials in Venezuela\u2019s treasury and state-run oil company known as PDVSA.<\/p>\n

HSI agents have assisted the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office in bringing money-laundering conspiracy cases against Andrade and 11 other defendants accused of embezzling billions from the Venezuelan government through bribery and currency-exchange rackets. Kevin Tyrrell, assistant special agent in charge of HSI\u2019s Miami office, said \u201cwe do anticipate additional charges.\u201d<\/p>\n
