Who was Juan Almeida?
Known as “N33”, Juan Almeida, according to sources, was known for boycotting and cloning the social networks of many people who made former Oil Minister Tareck El Aissami uncomfortable, which is why he was nicknamed the “El Aissami hacker”.
Almeida’s figure went viral on social media when an ex-partner of his accused him of being “misogynistic.” The woman assured that Almeida was not fulfilling her responsibilities and that he was attacking her.
Journalists have denounced that Almeida tried to hack accounts in complicity with mobile phone operators. He was also accused of attacking information portals.
With Almeida, there are two deaths in state custody linked to the PDVSA corruption plot, the first was Leonel Azuaje, who died in April in an alleged suicide.
