Questions surrounding investment, tax obligations, commercial commitments and the management of Digitel have intensified as Venezuelan authorities examine business interests associated with Mireya Blavia de Cisneros, according to government sources.

Digitel, one of Venezuela’s major mobile telecommunications operators, is among the businesses linked to the Cisneros family. The company became a significant part of the family’s business portfolio under the late businessman Oswaldo Cisneros. Following his death, his widow took a prominent role in managing the family’s business interests.

Government officials allege that the scrutiny extends beyond Digitel and includes investments in telecommunications, real estate, oil and other sectors. Authorities are examining claims that major investment commitments were not fulfilled, while personal and corporate tax liabilities remained outstanding.
