CARACAS, Venezuela—Alex Saab, a businessman accused by American prosecutors of creating a global network of companies to help Venezuela’s government evade U.S. sanctions, was extradited Saturday to the U.S., his lawyers said.
Mr. Saab was flown out of the West African island nation of Cape Verde on a Justice Department jet, his lawyers said, ending a 16-month battle for the Colombian-born deal maker. American prosecutors accuse Mr. Saab of having funneled more than $350 million from a range of Venezuelan government contracts through the U.S. financial system.
