Samark José López Bello
Samark José López Bello is a Venezuelan businessman known for his ties to the government of Nicolás Maduro and his involvement in the controversial food distribution program CLAP. His lavish estate, Bubalis, was once a symbol of opulence and political influence but fell into silence following his arrest on April 9, 2024, for alleged connections to the Pdvsa-Cripto case. Described as a close associate of former Vice President Tarek el Aissami, López Bello's fortunes were built on government contracts and imports, leading to accusations of corruption and narcotrafficking. Once a powerful figure in Venezuela's political and business landscape, his downfall reflects the shifting dynamics of power within the country.
