🚨 #BREAKING : VENEZUELA’S GOLD DRAIN EXPOSED — 113 TONS VANISHED! 🛢️🥇

New data from Swiss customs and Reuters reveals that Venezuela shipped a massive 113 metric tons of gold to Switzerland between 2013–2016 under Nicolás Maduro’s early leadership — worth roughly $5.20 billion (4.14 b CHF). This gold came from the Central Bank’s reserves at a time when the country was trying to raise hard currency amid severe economic collapse and sanctions.

📦 Key facts:

• 113 metric tons of gold shipped to Swiss refineries.

• Valued at around $5.2 billion.

• The exports stopped after 2017 when EU sanctions (later adopted by Switzerland) cut off the channel.

• Switzerland has now frozen assets linked to Maduro and associates following his capture.

🧠 Why this matters:

This was not regular trade — it was distress selling of national gold reserves during economic collapse. Huge questions linger:

❓ Where did the money go?

❓ Who benefited from these sales?

❓ What does this mean for Venezuela’s economic recovery?

Market spin — watch: Gold price action, risk sentiment shifts, and sovereign risk perception… could this redefine how markets price political tail risk and commodity reserve depletion? 👀
