Siri Evjemo-Nysveen and Alessandro Bazzoni try to clean up their image in the Financial Times and come out shamed

Italian businessman Alessandro Bazzoni and his wife Siri Evjemo-Nysveen wanted internationally for the theft of more than 3 billion dollars from PDVSA, tried to approach the prestigious media, The Financial Times, and were destroyed in the final report published this Saturday.

In a typical move by a Public Relations team, the couple sought to declare to the British media that they had no relationship with Alex Saab, that it is “pure speculation” that they have invested millions of dollars in Polo horses, and that he is the owner of the Maltese company Elemento LTD – in charge of transporting Venezuelan oil abroad and the reason why Bazzoni was sanctioned by the OFAC in 2021 – but the FT “background check” left the couple in a worse position.

The main image is where Alessandro Bazzoni appears next to the LaFerrari hybrid, a Ferrari project also known as the F150, which is worth close to one and a half million dollars. One of the 499 units manufactured of this model is the one that Bazzoni took home as a prize in a polo tournament held in 2021 in Egham (England) when his Monterosso Polo Team was beginning to emerge internationally thanks to money from corruption in PDVSA.

His wife, Siri Evjemo-Nysveen, is also the owner of the MT Vikings, another squad that participates in some minor tournaments. Evjemo-Nysveen, through her role as vice president of the Swiss bank MBaer Merchant Bank (of the Julius Bär Group), helped introduce money from bribes and thefts in PDVSA into the banking system. Some of the clients related to these businesses whom he introduced to the bank are Colonel Antonio Pérez Suarez, the family of former minister Tareck El Aissami, and Álvaro Pulido Vargas.

Recently, the media outlet News Break revealed that the British justice system is investigating the circle of polo players related to Alessandro Bazzoni and Siri Evjemo-Nysveen for suspected money laundering in the purchase and sale of horses.
