A Venezuelan prosecutor reported that Panteras Entertainment and Global Boletos Venezuela are two companies linked to the organization of the recital, which will be investigated “for causing damage and abusing the goodwill of fans of the singer Romeo Santos”, he reported in X .

Saab emphasized that in the investigations they were able to identify Juan Carlos Araujo, a businessman imprisoned for drug trafficking, who participated in hiring Santos in Caracas.

Araujo was a partner in Solid Show, an event production company and, according to the prosecutor, that company “used to launder drug money.”

According to El País, in 2020 the authorities of the Dominican Republic seized 459 kilograms of cocaine on a plane owned by Araujo, who was arrested for this incident.

Araujo is currently serving his sentence in El Rodeo prison located in the state of Miranda. However, the director of this prison, Argenis Guerra, also fell before the face of justice.
