http://news.yahoo.com/maduro-orders-probe-suspected-graft-among-panama-based-043238728.htmlCaracas (AFP) - President Nicolas Maduro said he had launched a probe into reports of Panama-based Venezuelans who may have illegally obtained wealth.
Maduro, whose socialist government is in economic crisis amid historically low oil prices, said on Tuesday, on his television show "In Touch with Maduro" that he suspects many may have settled in Panama with laundered money or breaking his rules aimed at stemming currency flight.
"I have formed a special committee to investigate money laundering and currency flight (of US dollars), given the Panama situation," said Maduro, who attended a regional summit in Panama City over the weekend.
He said many people approached him during his visit to the nearby Central American nation and said Panama was full of Venezuelan expats living the high life.

Literally billions of dollars hidden in those accounts from prominent Chavista figures. Oh, wait, I just answered my own question...
