Esteban Trapiello

Trapiello is president of the regional television channel TeleAragua and of the radio station Aragueña 99.5 Fm of the National Public Media System of the Aragua state government.

[2] For 2016 he had focused on expanding his own business and, at the request of the governor of Aragua, Tareck El Aissami, on extending the reach of the regional television station.

[3] An analysis by Armando.info determined that the contract between TyH Producciones Musicales and the television station dependent on the governor's office represented a conflict of interest, as both are directed by Trapiello and Camba, and that it may violate the norms established in the Law against Corruption, which establishes sanctions for public administration officials who take advantage of their position for their own benefits.

[1] On 8 January 2022, the non-governmental organization Espacio Público and the National Union of Press Workers denounced harassment and a "smear campaign" against several Venezuelan journalists conducted by Trapiello.

He also expressed in the same interview that he would like to have lunch with Adolf Hitler to ask him "why he did not finish his work", as well as describing Venezuelan migrants as "idiots".
