{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)The Key Biscayne man – Guido Alejandro Antonini Wilson, 46 – also is an associate of a businessman linked to a large Caracas food conglomerate known to have obtained multimillion-dollar contracts with the government of President Hugo Chávez, El Nuevo Herald has learned. Public records show that Antonini's associate – both are officers of a Doral company, Techmilk Inc. – is also an officer of a company that owns an airplane seized by U.S. officials for improper registry – a circumstance that officials say can sometimes be used to launder money. The Venezuelan-American entrepreneur is the business associate of a Miami pilot whom the Drug Enforcement Administration has cited, in an affidavit, for the alleged illegal use of a U.S. license for an executive plane confiscated in May, El Nuevo Herald has learned. The pilot, Wladimir Abad, is listed as the secretary of American Food Grain, a Venezuelan firm that owns a Raytheon Hawker 800 executive plane seized by the DEA at Fort Lauderdale Airport on 17 May. On Monday, media reports out of Caracas and Buenos Aires said authorities were also seeking the resignation of Diego Uzcátegui Matheus, president of the Argentine subsidiary of the Venezuelan state-owned oil company, PDVSA. His son allegedly invited Antonini on the chartered flight. In Caracas, PDVSA said it had begun an investigation into the circumstances and eventual responsibilities of the company officials who accompanied Antonini on the flight.Originally reported at Reyes, Gerardo (10 August 2007).

The scandal has cast a sudden chill over the warmer ties between the countries ... María Luz Rivas Diez, the Argentine attorney general, said Mr. Antonini Wilson had made 12 trips to Argentina in the past year, some for less than a day. She told a Buenos Aires radio station over the weekend that she could not rule out money-laundering as a possible motivation, nor filing charges against Mr. Antonini Wilson, who had been allowed to leave Argentina and whose whereabouts were unknown. Though Mr. Antonini Wilson had been traveling with employees of Venezuela's national oil company, the Venezuelan government insisted that the cash found on him was a personal matter. "The responsibilities are personal,: said Pedro Carreño, Venezuela's justice minister, in comments broadcast Monday on Venezuelan radio. "If there exists a personal object, it is a suitcase."
