US Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed Saturday that Venezuela’s toppled leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife will face “the full wrath of American justice,” under a fresh criminal indictment filed in New York.<\/p>\n
Bondi posted on X that Maduro and his wife — who had been removed from Venezuela in a surprise overnight US military operation — “will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts.”<\/p>\n
Maduro was initially charged in 2020, but an updated indictment shared by Bondi on Saturday added his wife, Cilia Flores.<\/p>\n
The so-called superseding indictment also targets Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, considered one of the most powerful people in the country. It also charges the Maduros’ adult son.<\/p>\n
These six people are charged among other things with being linked to Colombia’s FARC leftist guerrillas, which the United States has classified as a terrorist organization, and to drug cartels “to transport thousands of tons of cocaine to the United States.”<\/p>\n
In August the Justice Department doubled to $50 million a reward for information leading to the arrest of Maduro and Cabello.<\/p>\n
