Alert to financial institutions

(Diario Últimas Noticias) - "We alert individuals and financial institutions, Venezuelan and foreign, about the attempt from natural and legal persons, both Venezuelan and foreign, to collect using credit documents called 'notas promisorias' (promissory notes), Código Caroní, series ICC-290 e ICC-322, that were never issued by the extinct bank 'Banco de Desarrollo Agropecuario' - BANDAGRO.

The Venezuelan Ministry of Finance carried on an investigation in order to determine if these "promissory notes" are related to any legal obligation accepted by the Venezuelan government, and the results were as follows:

  • These promissory notes have no certificate of issuance
  • There is no registry of this alleged debt in the former Ministry of Public Finance (Ministerio de Hacienda)
  • The referred notes are filled with absolute nullity, considering they have not been accounted, and there is no evidence that could prove they were ever issued, which means their origin is unknown".
