Pulido was taken from a Caracas prison, where he had been held since 2023 on an unrelated local corruption charge, and transferred to a U.S. detention center in Florida, with prosecutors alleging the scheme funneled about $350 million through financial institutions in Antigua and Barbuda, Malta and the United Arab Emirates.
