The U.S. Department of Justice has indicted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, accusing him of running a drug cartel designed 'to flood' the United States with cocaine

“For more than 20 years, Maduro and a number of high-ranking colleagues allegedly conspired with the FARC, causing tons of cocaine to enter and devastate American communities,” Attorney General William Barr said. “Today’s announcement is focused on rooting out the extensive corruption within the Venezuelan government — a system constructed and controlled to enrich those at the highest levels of the government. The United States will not allow these corrupt Venezuelan officials to use the U.S.

The U.S. is offering a reward of up to $15 million for information that could lead to the arrest and/or conviction of Maduro. Rewards of $10 million and $5 million are being offered up for information that could aid the capture and/or conviction of the other people indicted.notes, it’s incredibly rare to indict a head of state, but the decision to charge Maduro is in step with President Donald Trump’s pressure campaign on Maduro and Venezuela. The U.S.

Prior to Thursday’s indictment, Maduro’s former vice president, Tareck El Aissami, had been accused in the United States of drug trafficking on multiple occasions, including an indictment last year. Two of Maduro’s nephews are also serving prison sentences in the U.S. on drug charges after they were accused of trying to bring $20 million in drug money back to Venezuela to help their family maintain power.

He has moved in and cozyed up to Vladimir, this must cut into tRump's profits. Maybe MoscowMitch or Elaine have some information to share.

Umm it’s already flooded with cocaine

Is this the guy that everybody hates? Or is this the military general that took over Venezuela because everybody likes him more? Venezuela is very confusing right now

I can’t wait to watch “Narcos: Venezuela” on Netflix!

He is the enemy of Colombian oligarchy, would they stomach his “drug cartel”? Sounds like another fake attempt.
