Armando.Info a news website dedicated to the state of affaris in Venezuela, Armando.Info is widely regarded as country’s flagship outlet for investigative reporting.
They regularly publish findings about mining, extractivism, corruption and minerals' trafficking.
In one case in late 2017, the journalists revealed a scheme by a politically connected businessman to inflate the price of food meant for poor citizens. Poliszuk and three colleagues fled the country after the businessman, who is closely tied to President Nicolas Maduro’s political party, filed a lawsuit that could result in six years in prison for each of them.
The journalists, who have also exposed ties between Maduro and the judiciary, said they feared they would not get a fair trial. They plan to return to Venezuela after their investigation is complete.
The reporting led to the arrests of at least a half dozen influential Venezuelans, including top aides to the late President Hugo Chavez.
Operating under censorship, lawsuits, and intimidation, the outlet has continued publishing despite exile and legal threats against its journalists.
Their work was awarded Recognition of Excellence at the Premio Gabo 2025, an honor from the Fundación Gabo celebrating rigorous journalism and commitment to truth in an age of disinformation.
