Cisneros-Miami-Dorado crime connection behind seized US$2.5 million?

Venezuela's opposition print & broadcast media are maintaining a remarkable blackout on the reporting of the December 30 seizure of an illegal shipment of US$2.5 million in a Transvalcar value-transport aboard an American Airlines flight from Miami (Florida) at the behest of Italcambio boss Carlos Dorado.

* Dorado, an opposition proselyte and leading financier to the anti-Chavez Frias movement, has not yet made any official statement but the pro-government newspaper Diario VEA says there are links between the $2.5 million cache of greenbacks and the Cisneros Group -- another thread in the network of opposition efforts to dislodge the democratically-elected President of Venezuela by all and any means.

VEA says Italcambio staffers are in fear of their lives as police detectives probe the provenance of the US$ and claim that informants have already been threatened by 'enforcers' for the shadowy billionaire, who is an intimate friend of former CIA director and former US President George Bush Sr.

The usually "happy to comment on anything negative" US Embassy in Caracas remains resolutely mum about the seizure and investigations that have proceeded since the American Airlines flight touched down at Caracas (Simon Bolivar) international airport last Monday.
