The National Police statement said international arrest warrants have been issued for three more suspects. Also arrested, according to people familiar with the probe, were two business associates of Vuteff and Nervis Villalobos, a former Venezuelan deputy energy minister. Spain had agreed to extradite him, but only after Villalobos is tried for cases pending in Spain. Villalobos has also been charged with money laundering in a related probe in Andorra. After fleeing the country, Ledezma established his residence in Spain last year and has become one of the leading voices in exile opposing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
