The U.S. will not block a court auction of shares in oil refiner Citgo Petroleum Corp's (PDVSAC.UL) parent, Justice Department officials told a federal court, paving the way for a potential seizure by creditors of Venezuela's most-prized foreign asset.
The U.S. Treasury Department since 2020 has protected Citgo from creditors with claims against Venezuela, and its change of heart will allow claims to be settled by negotiation or through an auction of shares in Citgo parent PDV Holding. Citgo is PDV Holding's only asset.

Robert Pincus, a court-appointed official who met with the Justice Department and Treasury, urged the court to move quickly "to take advantage of CITGO’s recent financial and operational performance and the current state of the refining industry ..." Canadian miner Crystallex International has a $970 million claim against PDV Holding that spawned the proposed court auction.Other creditors with at least $2.6 billion in claims against Venezuela have received conditional approvals to join the case. Pincus proposed starting the sales process on Sept. 5 with the highest bid reviewed by the court in June 2024.
