Background - Chronological Report
SUMMARY of the Complaint filed with the Monagas AD (Democratic Action), formulated by Ludwig Moreno Ladera, former Head of Voting Automation of the Monagas AD Section.
Exposition.
The following was found ni a review of publicly available documents about the current Undersecretary of Organization AD and Electoral Coordinator of the MUD,:
- Sale of Venezuelan visas to a citizen of Chinese nationality. José Gonzalo, consul of Venezuela in Hong Kong, and Felix Arroyo (Diex director) up to 30,000 per visa in January 1990. Source: http://bit.ly/DicDeCorrupcion
- President of Global Crossing of Venezuela, transnational Telecommunications in Venezuela. In 2001, just when the company was inaugurated by President Chávez. Source: http://bit.ly/CVdeFCArroyo
- Member of the technical commission that recommended to buy SmartMatic machines, by direct award in 2004, working as CNE employee, as the Director of the Electoral Registry (REP) Department. In that same year the REP grew by more than 3 million voters. Source: http://bit.ly/JefeREP-CNE
- The rector Sobella Mejías made public request for the dismissal of Felix Arroyo in 2004. He stated that "he is a person of absolute confidence of the president of the CNE, Francisco Carrasquero and Jorge Rodríguez" Source: http: // bit .ly / SobellaMDest
- Challenged to occupy the position of Rector of the CNE. Enrique Naime, leader for Copei, objected to officials of the Electoral Power for having allowed and supplied the data for the "Tascón List"; to approve, endorse and activate license plans without control. Source: http://bit.ly/ImpugnaLista
- Becomes full member of AD political party, representing the Political Parties in front of CNE, and express that they are "Satisfied" with it: "After the review of all the programs, voting machines, fingerprint readers and everything has been reviewed, we can say that we are satisfied."

- In the last REP Audit, Arroyo (by AD), Vicente Bello (by UNT) and Paul Morris (by the PSUV) sign together and totally approve it. Source: http://bit.ly/AuditoriaREP2009
- Paul Morris was immediately appointed Director of the CNE in Carabobo, without any complaints. Source: http://bit.ly/GOficial090616
Appreciation:
Given his professional background, his management within AD as the Sub-Secretary of Organization (position that he also omits in his public CV), lacks of coherence. It is deficient and unjustifiable, given the total absence of a centralized IT infrastructure in the political party. This platform had to be developed or supervised by him, for more than 1 year, with the data of the REP to which he had access to.
Conclusions:
Felix Arroyo is a prosperous manager and skilful businessman, with a history of corruption, links with military coup and current representatives of the high government, data that place him as a protagonist of the deformation of the Venezuelan electoral system. More than being a simple collaborator, he has enough knowledge to have structured electoral fraud by himself.
Recommendations:
Urgent intervention is required to ratify the denounced facts and to be proven, to proceed to his immediate dismissal, to his expulsion from the AD Party, as well as from anybody who has facilitated his incorporation and placement in such a preponderant position. All of its recommendations must be submitted to review from its incorporation to AD - and to the Bureau of the Unit - to determine objectively, if the opinions or guidelines issued by its person, could obey strange interests opposed to the recovery of the Rule of Law.
For a Free Venezuela, governed by Venezuelans.
Addendum
About Vicente Bello, electoral affairs expert of UNT, he has given the impression of being someone more accessible, close to the needs of the parties, in contrast to the proud character of Felix Arroyo. Bello seemed to be more restrained and less involved in the authorship of the fraud:
1996: Deputy of the political party MAS (Movimiento Al Socialismo - Movement Towards Socialism). http://sociales.eluniversal.com/1996/12/19/pol_art_19112C.shtml
1998: Re-elected with 35,000 votes from MVR (Movimiento V República - V Republic Movement), page 13. Comrades from the same "political force": Cilia Flores, Aristóbulo Istúriz, Nicolás Maduro, Freddy Bernal, all "national heroes": http://cne.gob.ve/web/documentos/estadisticas/e98_04_01.pdf
2004: He was dismissed from the CNE, and later the dismissal was rejected, no matter what the law says. It does not matter that he was a Deputy, nor does the opinion of the CNE President in 2001, he claims his retirement http://zulia.tsj.gov.ve/decisiones/2004/junio/2115-30-20.203-0129-2004.html
2005: This year is against the CNE (although he called to vote) http://www.11abril.com/index/especiales/EleccionesParlamentarias/EntornoNacional20051206.html
2006: This year is in favor of the CNE, ("the conditions are favorable") http://venezuelareal.zoomblog.com/archivo/2006/07/24/entorno-Nacional-24-de-Julio-de-2006.html
2007: Led the group of technicians who DECLARED THAT 72% OF THE MINUTES HAD BEEN JOINED due to the refusal of the CNE to provide the total of 100% votes. http://www.noticias24.com/actualidad/noticia/14752/un-escandaloso-reportaje-sobre-los-resultados-del-2-d-acorrala-al-cne/
2009: this year the REP is approved, along with Felix Arroyo and Paul Morris (representative of the PSUV) who was immediately appointed as the director of the regional office of the CNE of Carabobo, but nobody says anything. Is that nobody realizes? http://www.aporrea.org/media/2009/02/auditoria_del_registro_electoral_del_corte_al_16_01_2009.pdf
