Charges against Maduro: cocaine, corruption and weapons in US federal accusation
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro faces federal charges in the US for drug trafficking, corruption and weapons trafficking, according to Google News VE — Caracas.
Federal accusation against Maduro includes cocaine, bribes and machine guns
Google News VE — Caracas reports on an analysis from france24.com regarding the criminal charges that US federal justice maintains against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
The accusation encompasses three major areas: large-scale cocaine trafficking, corruption and possession or illegal trafficking of machine guns. The charges were presented by US federal prosecutors and point directly at the Venezuelan head of state.
Maduro's government has repeatedly rejected the accusations, describing them as an instrument of political pressure from Washington. The United States, for its part, has offered since 2020 a reward of 15 million dollars for information leading to his arrest and conviction.
Venezuela has no extradition treaty with the United States, which makes it unlikely, according to analysts cited by france24.com, that Maduro will appear before a US court in the short term.
