Venezuela has arrested the state oil company`s boss for the western region and eight other executives at PDVSA, according to an internal company memo and a half-dozen sources in the OPEC member`s oil industry.

It was not immediately clear why Gustavo Malave and the other employees were apprehended, though a series of corruption probes are under way at PDVSA and have entangled other employees.

The sources said Malave was arrested on Monday in Zulia state, Venezuela`s traditional oil-producing region near Colombia, in what would be one of the highest-profile detentions of a PDVSA executive.

PDVSA, the prosecutor`s office, and Malave did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Separately, Venezuela`s new chief prosecutor Tarek Saab on Thursday announced he was investigating "spectacular" overpricing in a dozen contracts in the nation`s Orinoco oil belt, on the other side of the country. [nL2N1LH1BL]

The reputation of PDVSA - short for Petroleos de Venezuela SA - has been tarnished in recent years by graft investigations involving high-profile staff.

The company has blamed the problems on a small group of employees and executives, and promised a war on corruption.

Last year, the opposition-led congress said $11 billion was lost at PDVSA between 2004 and 2014, when Rafael Ramirez was in charge of the company. He denied the allegations. [nL1N1CP1BX]
