Chavez v. Globovision (update)

Yep, this is probably the fifth or sixth round in the personal battle of Hugo Chavez Frias against Globovision. It’s been almost 3 months since he ordered it to be shut down on several occasions on live television. This is without legal process or any reasonable objection against Globovision. Lets clearly remember that almost two months ago, Venezuelan tax authorities (SENIAT) audited Globovision and handed them a almost a 2 Million dollar outstanding tax fee along with applicable penalties. People from all parts of Venezuela quickly started gathering money to support Globovision and pay the Chavista inspired tax fee. Spontaneous manifestations of people on the streets trying to help keep Globovision on the airwaves with their spare change. This I am sure enraged Chavez even further…
Now, Chavez (or his goons, and I remember Machiavelli´s Prince trying to please the King) is after Globovision´s president and owner Guillermo Zuloaga. In a fascist fashion weeks ago they raided Zuloaga´s residence to find 23 Toyota trucks in the residence. The explanation behind this is that Zuloaga´s son owns a Toyota dealership in Caracas and he was using the parking space. This was supported by the fact that title deed showed they were all Zuloaga´s companies. During the raid, legal counsel for Zuloaga, Mrs. P. Jaime objected the illegal procedure was shortly after quickly charged with obstruction of justice, criminal process is pending. Now, the Chavez´s prize is to criminal prosecute Guillermo Zuloaga, Globovision´s president for Usury and conspiracy to commit usury.

Globovision is still on the airwaves, however. But the question for how long?
