    Political investigation request involving Lorenzo Mendoza

    In November 2015, government-aligned legislators asked Venezuela's Attorney General's Office to investigate Empresas Polar president Lorenzo Mendoza after state media broadcast a recorded telephone conversation between Mendoza and economist Ricardo Hausmann. Officials characterized the discussion of Venezuela's economic crisis and possible IMF assistance as evidence of a conspiracy or proposed foreign intervention. Mendoza acknowledged the recording but rejected the allegations as political manipulation, while Hausmann said the conversation reflected concerns about the country's economic conditions.
