Some four kilograms of gold were subtracted of the area of cells electrolíticas of the mining business Remevin, during the past Sunday. The fact has passed unnoticed, but a commission of the Body of Penal, Scientific Investigations and Criminalísticas (Cicpc) already is in the zone doing the respective inquiries.

Police sources reported that the public prosecutors of the Department of the Popular Power for the Basic Industries and mining Industry (Mibam), also they did an inspection to the company recently nationalized and they found "a bag of cement mixed with gold, up to now we do not know how much gold can have, but is calculated that some four kilograms".

The authorities presume that likewise as left the bag of cement, another equal was removed of the food processor of gold-bearing material without raising you suspect. Despite this, there are informations of other sources that reveal that are a matter of "some 20 kilograms of gold, and they are investigating to the top management not to those of security, because seems that there is something more and they want to leave it callaito".

According to calculations of them understood, the four kilograms of gold would be able to be valued on the 200 thousand bolívares strong, to be true, the hypothesis of the 20 kilograms, the sum would elevate to 500 thousand bolívares strong.

The business Remevin was passed to the Venezuelan State in passed days, the workers asked such measure before that to have the permanent administration of the transnational one Crystallex. Besides the labor problems this company had not done noise in the region and perhaps because of it passed through "under the table" the situation of the theft.

Officially it was known that the thieves of the gold entered for a part of the enclosure of the miner, without fuesen they seen by the security of the plant. The exit of the thugs was also secret, despite this, already itself rumora the intervention of mafias and even "sabotage" to lessen the work that are carrying out in the southern mining businesses.
