Venezuelans were told that PetroSaudi was investing $2.5 billion dollars into a joint venture with their state oil company PDVSA – the exact same sum that Malaysians were told had been raised by the company’s joint venture with 1MDB.

Sarawak Report now has hard evidence that the ‘Sirul Video’ was made behind bars at Villawood.
