It focuses afterwards on analysing the 2014 Venezuelan Anti-Corruption Law, and it develops various arguments that may lead to question this Law’s real objectives from an international investment’s ‘perspective. The paper reflects on whether the current Venezuelan government might use this 2014 Anti-corruption law against foreign investors. The cataclysm that the country is currently experiencing does not bode well for international investments
