The U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday unsealed a searing criminal
indictment against Venezuelan socialist leader Nicolas Maduro and several
"co-conspirators," accusing them of an array of narcotics and trafficking-
related crimes, including efforts to smuggle drugs into the United States.
At a press conference on Thursday morning, Department of Justice officials
announced a slew of charges pertaining to Maduro's conspiracy to commit
narco-terrorism which carries a minimum of 50 years behind bars. The DOJ
underscored that while he is currently in Venezuela, the 57-year-old is
known to travel outside and is now offering a $15 million reward for
information that will lead to his capture.
The DOJ, emphasizing that the latest round of indictments are the result
of many years of investigation, charged a number of high-ranking "co-
conspirators" and offered $10 million rewards for information leading to
their capture.

The department also accused the country's Chief Justice of money
laundering and bribery, which resulted in thousands of Venezuelans to lose
their jobs and livelihoods, and Venezuela's military head of further drug-
trafficking violations.
According to U.S. officials, Venezuela has long allowed Colombians
connected with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known by its
Spanish initials, "FARC," to utilize its airspace to fly cocaine north
through Central America and into North America.
Moreover, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey
Berman claimed that the illicit cooperation between the Colombians and
Venezuelans had been in place for over 20 years, and represented a
deliberate endeavor by Maduro and his regime to "flood the United States
with cocaine."
VENEZUELA, IRAN AND HEZBOLLAH - ALL HOSTILE TO THE US - FORGE CLOSER TIES
The announcement of the charges followed months of pressure by President
Trump's administration on Maduro's regime, which the United States
considers illegitimate following an election not deemed satisfactory by
many world powers.
While the United States and more than 100 other countries no longer
recognize Maduro as the legitimate president of Venezuela instead
throwing their support behind opposition figure Juan Guiado coupled with
a laundry list of economic sanctions, Maduro has maintained his position
at the helm in the capital Caracas, overseeing the socialist regime and
commanding the security forces.
The indictment of a functioning head of state is highly unusual and is
bound to ratchet up tensions between Washington and Caracas. However, the
U.S. has long accused Maduro and his government of human rights abuses,
torture, corruption, and paving the way for cartels, terrorist groups and
traffickers to exploit the oil-swathed nation, once the wealthiest in
Latin America.
