Venezuelan Authorities Dismantle Major Financial Network: A significant operation by the Venezuelan Ministry of Interior and Justice has resulted in the dismantling of a large network accused of manipulating the parallel dollar exchange rate and engaging in financial terrorism.

Images from the operation show confiscated computers, money exchange materials, and detained individuals. The operation is expected to have a significant impact on the Venezuelan economy. While details about the operation's specifics remain limited, the scale of the operation suggests a broader investigation into financial crimes within the country.
